Yes, the sketch was the prize...... My late F-I-L was an artist and my wife looked it over and believes it to be an original not a print. Under a magnifying glass you can see brush strokes on the saddle and other large dark areas and they have texture. You can feel them and when you shine a light across them there are shadows. The artist was Paul Tankersley, he passed away in 1992 from AIDS. He was originally from NY which is where this came from but moved to Texas sometime around 1974. My guess is he did this before leaving NY, most of his art was definitely NOT my style but this was.
