About this work

This screenprint features a cowboy on horseback, facing right, with a herd of cattle in the background. The cowboy wears a hat and dark clothing, while the horse is light-colored. The cattle are scattered across the landscape, with some standing and others lying down. The print is rendered in a range of grays, with the cowboy and horse standing out against the lighter background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the cowboy lost in thought as he gazes out at the cattle. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Allen Ruppersberg.
