Description
Original painting on board by Arthur Saron Sarnoff from the Estate of Charles Martignette. The piece features three horses running in the water with trees on the embankment. It is signed by the artist at the lower left. It was originally obtained as a gift from Charles Martignette, an extraordinary collector of illustration art. This is one of four horse paintings that Charles Martignette gave my client. There is a photo of the four together if you are interested in the full collection, please contact me. I plan on listing them separately.
Image only: 19.63" wide by 15.63".
Information from Heritage Auction House:

He was also lauded for his portraiture and Americana themed artwork.
