This masterwork by Sam Savitt that captures the thrill of a steeplechase event has been duplicated many times, but this is the original oil painting. It is large, with an image measuring 48 by 32 inches, plus a handsome frame. Price: $15,000.
This uniquely powerful pencil drawing is an unusually close-up view of a rider taking a fence with the horse looking as though it could jump out of the picture. Framed and rendered on medium-weight paper, this image measures 14 by 17 inches. Price: $500.
Sam Savitt frequently did multiple copies of the same scene, with each a little more detailed and with slight adjustments as he saw fit. This is the final version of a rider running a cross-country course. This drawing on medium-weight paper measures 13 by 17 inches. It has no mat. (SOLD)
This pencil drawing of a cross-country race calls out the danger inherent in such sports. The competitor taking a fence notes a fallen horse off to the side surrounded by doctors and the rider. This drawing on medium-weight paper measures 14 by 17 inches and does not have a mat.(SOLD)
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)

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.
