For Deborah Butterfield

This Ana Inciardi mini print pays tribute to sculptor Deborah Butterfield through a loose, expressive drawing of a horse rendered in dark pencil or ink lines against a pale background. The horse stands in profile with its head lowered, its body suggested through gestural, layered strokes rather than solid form. The lines overlap and fragment, giving the figure an open, almost sculptural quality that feels deliberately connected to Butterfield's own work in three-dimensional horse sculpture.

A handwritten dedication reads "For Deborah Butterfield" along the bottom left, with "ANA INC" noted in the lower right corner. Deborah Butterfield is an American sculptor known internationally for constructing life-size horse figures from found materials such as sticks, mud, and scrap metal. Her horses are recognized for their raw, assembled surfaces and their emotionally direct presence.

The drawing style Inciardi uses here visually echoes that sensibility. For collectors, this print occupies a distinctive place within Inciardi's work as a personal dedication piece, which sets it apart from her broader catalog of observed subjects. It pairs naturally with her other animal prints, particularly any featuring horses or figurative subjects drawn with similar gestural economy.

Collectors who focus on works that document her relationships with other artists tend to seek this one out specifically. The loose line quality also connects it to prints in her catalog where structure is implied rather than stated, making it a natural companion for those building a collection around her more expressive, sketch-influenced side.
