About the Item
"Sportsman's Study" is a serigraph on paper by Thomas McKnight, signed 'McKnight' lower right and numbered 3/200 lower left. From the edition of 510 (there were also 60 APs, 200 Romans, and 50 HCs). The image size is 18 x 36 inches and the framed dimensions are 31 x 49 inches. Framed in a contemporary black frame.
Sportsman’s Study brings to life one of Thomas McKnight’s most inviting interior sanctuaries—a place where leisure, landscape, and imagination coexist in perfect harmony. Bathed in crisp coastal light, the study opens onto rolling greens, bright fairways, and a sparkling blue inlet dotted with sailboats. It is an interior of quiet abundance: polished wood, fresh flowers, well-loved books, and the subtle markers of a life shaped by sport and contemplation.
McKnight’s signature perspective places the viewer directly inside the room, inviting them to linger at the desk, glance at the open window, and feel the warm breeze drift in from the course beyond. Small narrative details—a striped towel casually draped over a chair, a wooden duck, a trophy glinting on the dresser—suggest a life mid-stride, leaving space for the viewer to imagine their own story unfolding here.
With its blend of vibrant color, balanced composition, and dreamlike clarity, Sportsman’s Study transforms an everyday retreat into an aspirational escape. For collectors seeking artwork that evokes relaxation, refinement, and the joy of time well spent, this serigraph offers a timeless window into McKnight’s enchanted world.
Thomas McKnight (b. 1941) has built an international reputation for paintings and prints that celebrate beauty, serenity, and the joy of place. His luminous interiors open onto sweeping views of oceans, gardens, and distant cities, inviting the viewer into a world of color and calm. Blending elements of landscape, architecture, and still life, McKnight creates spaces that are at once intimate and expansive, windows into a life of leisure, travel, and imagination.
McKnight’s works are represented in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the New Britain Museum of American Art, as well as numerous private and corporate collections worldwide. In 2000, President and Mrs. Clinton selected his painting Night in Gramercy Park as the official White House Christmas card, underscoring his cultural significance.
His style, often described as both romantic and modern, draws from the traditions of Matisse and Bonnard while embracing the clarity of contemporary design. Interiors become portraits of imagined lives, spaces filled with books, music, and art, while his landscapes evoke the timeless allure of destinations like Santorini, the Riviera, or New England’s coast. In today’s art market, where collectors increasingly seek works that blend fine art with lifestyle and décor, McKnight’s images feel especially relevant: they resonate as both art objects and as visions of the lives we aspire to live.
For today’s collectors, McKnight’s art resonates more than ever: in an age of constant motion, his paintings offer a pause, a reminder of the beauty of interiors and landscapes where light, color, and memory converge. His works are both nostalgic and aspirational, appealing to seasoned art lovers and those beginning their collections with imagery that feels timeless, joyful, and universally human.

Thomas McKnight
Thomas McKnight's imaginary images can be described as delightful visions. No matter the passage of fashion or the seasons, there are places of transcendent timelessness in his work where peace and beauty only exists. Besides the incredible beauty of this work, it is probably his creation of places that gives us a sense of home that is responsible for his rapport with such a large public audience.
