Ancient Roman statue of the horse, from the series "Antiquities of Herculaneum", is an original etching on paper realized by Carol Nolli in the 18th century.

Signed on the plate, on the lower right.

Good conditions except for a small cutting at the top left.

The etching belongs to the print suite “Antiquities of Herculaneum Exposed” (original title: “Le Antichità di Ercolano Esposte”), an eight-volume volume of engravings of the finds from the excavation of the ruins of Herculaneum in the Kingdom of Naples (now Campania, Italy). 
It was published between 1757 and 1792 by the Regia Stamperia, and copies were delivered to selected recipients across Europe. 
Despite the title, the Antiquity of Herculaneum shows objects from all the excavations undertaken by the Bourbons in the Gulf of Naples. These include Pompeii, Stabia and two sites of Herculaneum: Resina and Portici. 
The Bourbon King Carlo appointed fifteen scholars creating a new “Herculaneum Academy” to study the artifacts and publish the results of the archaeological excavations of the sites.
