I want this charcoal Horse rendering in my den!

We're on a Kentucky trip for Bourbon and horse racing. Currently staying at a downtown Louisville hotel. They have this very large (6' square) charcoal rendering on canvas. I really like it and would love something similar for my den at home. No artist signature, but it's real charcoal on canvas sprayed with protectant. Art is subjective, so yes, some will not like this, but I do, and that's all that matters. I will have to see if I can find something similar or comission something from an artist that is somewhat similar;



The entire hotel is horse racing based. All the meeting rooms are race tracks, "Gulfstream", "Belmont", etc. Lots of horse appointments in the rooms and lobby. I expected this when we stayed near Lexington, but it's also nice to see in Louisville.

Did you ask, what artist doesn't sign their work? Is there a frame that could block the signature?

I actually Googled for "charcoal horse renderings", granted all I have is common sense and am very observant. The closest thing that had a similar style of drawing the horses heads and bodies, all had riders on the horses.
There were some that were going for 5 figure prices that were dated in the 60's. I definitely am not an art appraiser.

After you hit the Pick 6, see if they want to sell it

I live in the Louisville area and my wife and several of her friends are fairly accomplished artists, all of whom I know could recreate something very much like the drawing you posted. If you'd like to PM me, I could put you in touch with some of them.
