Black-and-white lithograph of a dark bay racehorse galloping right at full stretch, with a jockey in a cap leaning forward in the saddle.

Emperor of Norfolk

A dark bay racehorse gallops to the right at full stretch, its legs extended and tail streaming, while a jockey in a cap and light breeches sits forward in the saddle. The fine black-and-white lithograph uses soft tonal shading against a pale, bare ground that suggests a track.

Español: Emperor of Norfolk, caballo de carreras con jinete

Un caballo de carreras castaño oscuro galopa hacia la derecha con las patas extendidas y la cola ondeando, mientras un jinete con gorra y pantalón claro se inclina sobre la silla. La fina litografía en blanco y negro usa sombreados suaves sobre un suelo claro y desnudo que sugiere una pista.
