English: In a catalogue issued by the firm Besse et Cie in 1844, this stately horse with its long, flowing mane is described as follows:
This horse is fully at liberty, freely inhaling the air through its nostrils; proudly raising its head as though neither death nor enslavement could ever be its fate; this horse soothes our eye and spirit, chasing off any disheartening thought; the only feeling that one can experience upon seeing it is a deep admiration both for one of nature's most beautiful and most noble creatures and for the talent of its delineator.
