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)

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. (sold)

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)
