The clouds are monumental and fill much of the composition, but the solitary rider firmly anchors the foreground, his jaw firmly set with a determined look on his face. He has traveled a long distance and probably has a long way still to go -- the lot of a cowboy on the open range.<BR><BR>Provenance:<BR>Acquired by descent from the artist by the present owner<B>Condition Report:</B> Paper wrinkled but otherwise in good condition.
