Description: This is a sketch piece of art by John "Jack" Lehti, a distinguished DC Comic artist. The sketch came out of his personal "sketch book of art". This piece shows a knight on his horse yelling at him to charge but the horse is using the bathroom and just standing in place, In the far right you have a lady looking on the steps and a devilish figure peeking around the door. Its an interesting piece for sure and on the reverse it has a sketch of someone sitting there so I guess you can pick which side you prefer. Lots of his work was published so it can be a published piece or a sketch for something he was doing. His talent is amazing. The artwork is perfect for art enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone looking to add a unique touch to their home or office decor.
