About this work

This image shows a cowboy riding a bucking bull. The scene glows under a bright, warm light, with the figures outlined in gold. The background looks like a wall covered in tiny, faded text. The cowboy wears a hat and boots, gripping the bull’s horns while the bull rears up with its legs kicking. The colors here are bold—lots of gold, red, and green—but the background text makes it feel like the scene is floating. The artist used a mix of printmaking techniques to create this piece. Try looking up lithography next to see how artists use it to make prints like this.
