This pencil drawing, which measures 14 inches square, is a rough sketch on light paper, which has been affixed to foam board. This drawing may well have been Mr. Savitt’s concept for a painting. There is some smudging on the paper, but it is a well-executed piece of a rider in fox-hunting attire. Price $125. (sold)

Featured on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2019 issue of UnTacked magazine, this is a limited-edition print, created in the 1980’s and signed by Sam Savitt at that time.

This pencil drawing, which measures 14 inches square, is a rough sketch executed on light paper, which has been affixed to foam board. I rate the condition of the drawing as “fair,” but it is a very good representation of Sam Savitt’s ability to capture the horse in motion. The words at the bottom of the page, “bareback bronc” are his notes. Price $100.

This pencil drawing was very loosely (and perhaps quickly) drawn. Frequently, Mr. Savitt would do rough quick-study sketches that formed the basis of a more finished product later on. When on assignment, he would rarely take photos. This sketch measures 10.5 by 14 inches and has neither a mat nor frame.

This nifty pencil drawing on paper shows how a really top-notch artist can capture a scene of high action — with an economy of strokes and a splash of color — in a way that seems almost effortless. This paper measures 8 by 10 inches.

This pleasing image, which appears to be a combination of watercolor, ink and WhiteOut, is on paper measuring 11 by 13 inches. It is held in a gray mat that is only slightly larger than the artwork itself. Price: $1,025.

This splendid little pen and ink drawing — the companion to another that appears on this web site — was created for the 1959 book entitled “Born to Race.” Drawn on heavy paper, this piece measures 8 by 11 inches and contains publisher’s notes in the bottom margin.

This 10 by 14 inch drawing was done for either a book or magazine article. Most of the publisher’s notes in the margins have been taken away. The detail in this pencil drawing is extremely rich and well-preserved even though it is probably at least 30 to 40 years old. Price: $850.
