Description
Soviet Union (USSR) • 1988 • Museum of Horse Breeding, Moscow • Horses in Art • 5k–30k • Complete Set of 5
Issued in 1988, this five-stamp Soviet set features horses in art from the Museum of Horse Breeding (TSKhA), Moscow, presenting a refined selection of equestrian paintings and studies. The designs reproduce works by prominent Russian artists, capturing horses in posed portraits and dynamic riding scenes that emphasize anatomy, movement, and the historic bond between rider and horse.
The stamps balance painterly realism with careful reproduction, allowing coat texture, musculature, and posture to remain clearly legible at miniature scale. Unified framing and muted, elegant color palettes give the set a museum-like coherence, reflecting the USSR’s long tradition of showcasing fine art and cultural institutions through philately.
All five stamps are offered in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition, with clean original gum, sharp perforations, strong color fidelity, and excellent overall presentation across the set. An appealing group for collectors of horses, equestrian art, museum issues, or Soviet cultural themes.
