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 depicts a scene of utmost dynamism: four horses in full gallop, heads close together, riders in a light seat, the finish line within reach. The title 'Four at the Finish' captures the tension of the moment — a split second before the decision. The composition is rhythmic, dense, and full of movement, a prime example of Philipps' ability to capture the heartbeat of horse racing.

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.
