The old horse is a superb original etching (on copper matrix) on paper, signed on plate by the italian macchiaioli master giovanni fattori (livorno, 1825 - florence, 1908). Signed on the lower right margin ''g. Fattori'' with crossed letters. Another copy is preserved at the museo civico - giovanni fattori in livorno. Our specimen is an original print with lifetime impression, datable in the last years of the italian master and at the first years of the xx century (1900-1908), representing an old noble horse etched with an incisive, sure and at the same time delicate line. With a homogeneous veiling, this etching shows a defect of ink cleaning (made by the artist) at the margins of the plate. In very good conditions, with two imperceptible signs of restoration on the back (little rip repaired not visible on the recto) and some light signs of time. This is the artwork of sure technical and artistic value, perfect for your private collection! exhibitions: - 1959 grenoble-marsiglia, chambery. - 1999 iseo soncino, giovanni fattori, poetica e poesia del segno inciso.
