Mort Künstler – “Robert E Lee's Old War Horse” Custom Framed Print 17” x 20”
Mort Künstler “Lee’s Old War Horse” – Custom Framed Print 17" x 20"
Product Details
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled “Lee’s Old War Horse” by acclaimed historical artist Mort Künstler.
This powerful Civil War composition features General Robert E. Lee alongside one of his most trusted commanders, often referred to as his “old war horse,” capturing a moment of leadership, strategy, and quiet authority in the field. Surrounded by cavalry and set against a softly atmospheric landscape, the scene reflects the strength, experience, and command presence of Confederate leadership.
Künstler’s ability to combine realism with storytelling brings this moment vividly to life—making it a highly collectible and visually commanding piece.
