[A set of four race horses].
"Careless (with jockey)", "Cardinal Puff", "Pumpkin", "Careless Beating Atlas".
Robert Sayer, London, 1787
Siltzer records the charming naivety of Sartorius's work, referring to them as from "the school of the wooden horse with their hind feet stuck fast in the ground". He goes on to comment on the scarcity of such works which undoubtably influenced his son, John, who became known as a sporting artist.
