Adriaan van der Hoop’s Trotter ‘De Rot’ at the Coach House

SK-C-198

signature and date: ‘A. Oberman 1828.’

The prizewinning racehorse ‘De Rot’ wears a decorated bridle, and its tail is tied up and embellished with a rosette in the latest fashion à l’anglaise (in the English manner). In the coach house are no fewer than two carriages, one in fashionable yellow matching that of the horse-blanket on the animal’s back. The initials of its owner, Van der Hoop, are on the green bucket.
