Description

Tom Lea “The White Horse”

Vintage reproduction of The White Horse after Tom Lea (1907–2001), the acclaimed American painter and illustrator known for his dramatic Western, equestrian, and regional scenes. This piece features a richly printed image of a spirited white horse with a textured surface designed to mimic actual brush strokes, giving the work a dimensional, painterly quality beyond a flat print. The surface is mounted on panel with gesso or similar compound to accentuate this effect, a decorative technique popular in mid-20th-century commercial art production.

The composition is set within a wood frame with linen matting and displayed without glass, creating an impactful presentation that recalls post-war era decorative prints designed for residential and office walls. The image bears the artist’s name in print, consistent with licensed high-quality reproductions rather than an original hand-painted work.


Condition:

Good condition. The textured panel shows no visible tears or damage. The framing and linen matting display light age-related wear consistent with age. Ready for hanging.


Dimensions:

  • Overall (framed): 19 × 22 inches
  • Visible image: 10 ½ × 14 inches
