If you have been watching my site for the past two months you have seen me selling parts of a fabulous lifetime collection of Beswick horse figurines and other horse related material . I am continuing to sell the collection and will continue to do so right into the winter months. As agreed with the consignor all pieces are being offered with no reserve. In keeping with those wishes this fabulous original lithograph by Bev Doolittle titled "Two Indian Horses" is being offered with NO RESERVE. It is a wonderful opportunity for someone to acquire this image at a price that I believe will be very fair to both seller and buyer. The litho has been professionally framed and measures 16 x 55 inches framed .The image itself measures 8 x 46 inches. Both the frame and the print are in excellent condition and ready to be hung. The back paper has an old minor water stain and a couple of tears to the paper all of which are superficial and do not affect the lithograph at all.
Bev Doolittle discribed the print thusly " It's fall, 1875. A regiment of the Second Cavalry takes a short reconnaissance ride from Fort Ellis, Montana. The soldiers have stopped to rest the horses and themselves before the onset of winter. As a rule, most people view things from left to right...it's a habit from reading. So, by camouflaging the two Blackfeet Indians, it is my hope that the viewer will pass over the Indians on the extreme left of the painting, continue on down the row of horses to the soldier walking off the extreme right end of the painting. Having most of the horses turned and looking off to the right helps to subtly force the viewer's eye to the right and away from the discovery of the Indians. Discovering the Indians last rather than first helps to make the story more believable and is more fun. These Blackfeet Indians are about to be two horses richer, hence the title, Two Indian Horses.
