Beskrivelse
russisk kunstmaler, sjangermaler og animal painter
English: Alexey Orlov-Chesmensky Riding His Stallion Bars I. There is a problem here with both the image and the title. "Bars" is wrong. Although it's a reasonable English cognate for the horse's name in Russian, "Bars" actually means "leopard," a much better name for a swift horse. I suspect this translation / transliteration mistake has gone unchallenged for decades. The image is wrong because the Russian title indicates a mounted rider. I have literary confirmation of both points in Gilyarovsky's Moscow and Muscovites in the chapter "Sukharevka." "Еще два портрета маслом с графа Орлова-Чесменского. На одном портрете граф изображен на своем Барсе верхом, а на другом -- в санях, запряженных Свирепым."
Русский: *Граф Алексей Орлов-Чесменский едет на жеребце Барс I.
Картина Н. Сверчкова (1890-е; Музей коневодства)
Орлов-Чесменский на своем жеребце Барсе I. (Барс I — знаменитый орловский рысак.)
