Set of 2 Antique Equestrian Prints – 19th Century Hand-Colored Lithographs After Ridinger, Framed Horse Art

This elegant set of two antique-style lithographs features equestrian scenes inspired by the works of Johann Elias Ridinger (1698–1767), one of the most renowned German artists specializing in depictions of horses and hunting life. Published in Germany during the 19th century, these hand-colored prints are part of a revival series celebrating Ridinger’s original compositions.
Each print captures a different moment in horse training. One illustrates a rider’s first attempt at mounting, full of movement and tension, while the other shows a horse being introduced to the sound of a drum. Together, they create a narrative pair that reflects both discipline and harmony between rider and animal.
Beautifully framed and balanced in composition, this set works perfectly as wall decor in a study, office, living room, or equestrian-themed interior. Displayed together, they create a cohesive and refined gallery wall with historical character.
Both prints are in good vintage condition, with visible signs of age consistent with their period. Frames show minor wear. Please review photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.
