The piece features three horses running in the water with trees on the embankment. It is signed by the artist at the lower left.

Information from Heritage Auction House:
.A student of John Clymer and Andrew Wyeth, Arthur Sarnoff (American, 1912-2000) enjoyed a successful career as a commercial artist and illustrator. Many of his illustrations appeared in classic American publications such as Collier's Esquire, McCall's, Good Housekeeping, and Cosmopolitan. He was also lauded for his portraiture and Americana themed artwork. When maverick collector and historian Charles Martignette passed away in February 2008, his collection was already the stuff of legend, containing multiple canvasses by every major name in American illustration art from the last century.
