The piebald stallions (not the one in the capriole) are from Eisgrub stud, owned by Fürst Lichtenstein. So he's not a lipizzaner (just horses born in Lipizza were called Lipizzaners or Karster in those days), although he has spanish relatives and looks like a Lipizzaner.
Many thanks for the clarification and the great details! I liked this painting so much that I've become a quick fan of the Eisgrub stud, and the history is fascinating.
I also very much like the "Portrait of a Piebald Horse" by von Hamilton.
Andreas, is your piebald painting part of the series of six von Hamilton painted for the Leichtenstein palace?
Yes, the colored horse is gorgeous; I, myself, am very partial to them.
