Noble racehorses are the preferred subject of the artist Emil Adam. He quickly became a painter of prominent horses as well as horse owners. Among others, he painted for the Duke of Westminster, the Prince of Wales and William Kissam Vanderbilt, meaning that his works hung in the noblest houses in Europe at the time. His house at 154 Nymphenburger Str. in Munich was also referred to as «Adamshall».
