As one of the most famous sports photographers of his time, Schnaebeli had numerous noble race and thoroughbred horses in front of his lense. A special feature of his photographs is often the colouring and overpainting he does afterwards to gain a combination of snapshot and painting. Emphasising the depicted animal even more, the mixture of original photograph and painting also allows for the addition of further details.
Provenance: private collection Markgräflerland.
