After Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917), a lithographic reproduction titled Study of a Horse with Figures, c. 1861.

The image includes several markings: a red oval stamp in the lower-left corner reading ATELIER ED. DEGAS; a red square stamp with the letters M.N; a small circular stamp containing ML; and a facsimile signature in reddish-brown pigment reading Degas in the lower right. The surrounding mount is printed with the artist’s name to the left and the work’s title and date to the right. The piece is housed in a gilt-finished moulded frame under glass with a plain brown backing board secured by metal clips. 46×36.5cm
