AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Klaus Philipp (1932–2023), internationally known as 'The Horse Painter,' is among the most significant equestrian and horse artists of the 20th century. His works are renowned for their anatomical precision and the ability to make movement, energy, and adrenaline visible. His race scenes, in particular, are considered a visual condensation of the moment — powerful, focused, full of tension.

This artist-signed and numbered lithograph shows a rare perspective: the rider in a light seat, captured from behind, with the horse in full forward momentum. The title 'To the Fort (Ladies Race)' refers to a women's race, which is as impressive in its elegance and discipline as the classic gallop scenes. The simplified lines and the powerful silhouette make the work an iconic moment in equestrian sport.

Printed on handmade Bütten cardboard with a natural Bütten edge, the sheet combines tactile elegance with archival durability — a hallmark of high-quality European printing art.
