About the Artwork & Artist

Born in Panama, Keith Llewellyn De Carlo served in the U.S. Marine Corps before moving to Europe, where he formally studied art in Paris, Rome, and Barcelona. Known for his distinctive modernist animal depictions and bold graphic design sensibilities, De Carlo's works perfectly encapsulate the iconic flair of 1960s and 1970s Mid-Century architecture and decor. This particular piece demonstrates his genius for capturing dynamic animal movement through clean lines, geometric balance, and a soft, horizontally banded gradient background.

Condition Report

• Artwork: The lithograph itself is in excellent vintage condition, maintaining clean margins, crisp paper, and strong, unfaded ink saturation.

• Frame: The vintage wood frame remains structurally sound and sturdy. The front facing shows a slight nick on the very top center edge of the carved molding as well as the bottom center. There is additional some minimal wear and rubbing along the frame as well. Please see pictures for a better idea.

• Backing & COA: The back dust cover paper remains intact with standard age-toning. The authentic double-stamped paper COA label shows tearing and peeling away from the backing board, but remains legible in areas and firmly affixed.

This timeless equestrian lithograph serves as a masterful standalone statement piece for any enthusiast of Mid-Century Modern design, fine art lithography, or vintage gallery collections.
