About the Item
Signature: Signed Lower Right
Medium: Gouache on Paperboard
The present work was published as the main illustration for a short story by Beryl Markham published in The Saturday Evening Post on September 2, 1944. Entitled “The Splendid Outcast,” the story takes place in Suffolk, England and centers on a vagabond stallion named Rigel with a notorious reputation for his violent behavior. At auction, Rigel becomes a spectacle for the audience, the majority of whom do not dare bid on the untamed animal. The present scene, captioned "A groom clings like a monkey to the tightened chain. He is swept from his feet while his partner, a less tenacious man, sprawls ignobly below," depicts the moment in which two grooms struggle to restrain the rebellious horse as the captivated audience looks on.

Stevan Dohanos
Stevan Dohanos was born in the steel mill town of Lorain, Ohio, on May 18, 1907. Dohanos studied at the Cleveland School of the Arts. He is best known for the covers, more than 100, he painted for The Saturday Evening Post magazine during the 1940s and 1950s. His work appeared frequently on its covers. Most of his illustrations depicted common scenes of everyday post-war American life, such as a mobile home complete with pink flamingo, a gas station attendant inflating a child's toy or a souped-up motorcycle in the owner's driveway. His works are often compared to those of Norman Rockwell. Dohanos was influenced by The Eight namely Henri, Sloan, Glackens, Shinn, Prendergast, Davies, Lawson and Luks. During the 1960s, his designs were used on 25 postage stamps. From 1961–63, he served as a President of the Society of Illustrators and in 1971 was elected to the Society's Hall of Fame. He was a founder of the Famous Artists School in Westport. Dohanos died on July 2, 1994, in Westport, Connecticut.
