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)
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 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 painting (offered by a third party) is one of a portfolio of eight highly refined paintings of thoroughbred horses from 1955. We are unsure about the medium: It is probably casein or gouche. The frame measures 21 by 25 inches. Price: $2,000.
This detailed pencil drawing was no doubt the sketch that preceded a painting about fox hunting. This large and exciting rendering measures 19 by 26 inches on paper affixed to Styrofoam poster board and it is slightly dulled by age.
