WATERCOLOR PAINTING OC OLAF CARL SELTZER COWBOY
WATERCOLOR ON PAPER 9'' x 14'', Olaf Carl Seltzer (1877-1957), Montana. A Cowboy and His Horse. Signed lower right. Matted and placed in a wood frame. This painting was commissioned by the current owner's grandfather as a tribute to his horse ''Old Ted'' (pictured), The reverse of the painting bears a label which reads '' Old Ted 1944 - Property of Mr. & Mrs. Thos. Kitson, Milligan Route, Great Falls, MT''. The painting has been in the consignor's family since its completion. Influenced by Charlie Russell, Seltzer's detailed, carefully researched depictions of the Old West form a bridge between the early genius of Western artists like Remington and Russell and the generations that followed.
