A Savitt classic in ink
Springtime
This appaloosa is standing alone against a flowering bush. Chances are this was draft for a nother painting but, as you can see, it works well on its own. This may be watercolor or gouache on a board measuring 11 by 12 inches. There is no frame or mat.
Portrait of a bay horse
This is a simple but effective portrait of a bay horse, probably in watercolor, on paper superimposed onto a board. This board, measuring 12 by 15 inches, may have been cut from a larger piece, but it is a standalone image.
Minimalist sketch
Created in 1970 with a minimum number of lines, this ink sketch effectively captures the likeness of a horse. The paper has some damage but not enough to detract from the art. This sketch measures 13 by 16 inches on heavy paper and has neither a frame nor a mat. (sold)
Racing to the finish line
This little gem, which measures 6.5 by 8 inches, showcases Savitt’s ability to describe high action with a simple drawing. This artwork, rendered in pen and ink on heavy paper, has no visible corrections — a vivid testament to his raw talent.
Portrait in miniature
This is a Savitt portrait in miniature, measuring 5.5 by 7.5 inches. Some paint has flicked off the hindquarters and neck, but that does not detract from the fact that this artwork is definitely characteristic of his style.
Black horse in black
Ink is an unforgiving medium, but Sam Savitt handled it with ease, rendering this horse’s head on stiff paper, measuring 5 by 7 inches. He touched it up with White-Out.
Racehorse racing
This splendid little pencil drawing, measuring 7 by 8.5 inches, shows off Sam Savitt’s talent for capturing the horse in motion.
