Set of four lithographic prints comprising:lithographic print of drawing by Leonardo da Vinci entitled Neptune with his Sea-horses., originally drawn c.1504-5Acquired by Charles II, King England (1630-85). Bequeathed to Francesco Melzi; purchased by Pompeo Leoni, c.1582-90; Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel by 1630 and finally resting with The Royal Collection by 1690.Black chalk on white paper. A study for the drawing of Neptune for his friend Antonio Segni, master of the papal mint. Although highly praised in the sixteenth century, the large finished drawing is now lost and what we see here is a preparatory study. The flowing design and movement is comparable with the Battle of Anghiari on which Leonardo was working at the same time. At the top of the paper is written, in Leonardo`s hand a reminder to `Abasse icchacalli` (lower the horses).Print size inches: 9.3 x 6.1 together with lithographic print of drawing by Michelangelo entitled Archers shooting at a Herm, originally drawn c.1530Acquired by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820) by 1810.Two tones of red chalk.

A study for the design which was engraved by Marcantonio but was not apparently used for any other purpose. On the verso a study for a salver with marine deities.Print size inches: 9.3 x 5.6 together with lithographic print of drawing by Leonardo da Vinci entitled Studies of a Rearing Horse., originally drawn c.1503Acquired by Charles II, King England (1630-85). Bequeathed to Francesco Melzi; purchased by Pompeo Leoni, c.1582-90; Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel by 1630 and finally resting with The Royal Collection by 1690.A dynamic study in red chalk and pen and sepia c.1503-4. Leonardo made a number of studies of horses for a mural in the Palazzo delle Signoria in Florence depicting the Battle of Anghiari (1440). Only part of the mural, which ultimately did not survive, was completed. The movement in this sketch is demonstrated by the varying positions of the horses legs and head. The cursorily drawn rider adds further to the mood. Below are the faint outlines of smaller drawing of a horse rearing towards the left.Print size inches: 5.8 x 6.2
