Footnotes

A related subject of a Turkish horseman and a similar treatment of single horses on the cover panels, can be seen on a goblet in the Passau Glasmuseum, also attributed to Franz Hansel, see Georg Höltl, Das Böhmische Glas 1700-1950, vol.2 Empire-Biedermeier, p.128, fig.173. Paul von Lichtenberg, Glasgravuren des Biedermeier (2004), pp.245-251 illustrates three beakers with panels of a Saracen and his horse by Franz Hansel, seemingly by the same hand as the present lot. A goblet with the same figure and horse as one of the panels on the present lot is in the Brauser Collection in the Museum der Stadt Regensburg, illustrated in the catalogue, Glaser (1977), p.168, fig.357
