Mexican Steer on the Prod
1914
Edward Borein captures the raw energy of the Old West in this dynamic 1914 sketch, where a cowboy on a rearing horse faces off against a massive, long-horned steer. The loose, energetic strokes make the scene feel immediate and tense, as if the lasso is about to fly at any second. Borein, who actually lived as a cowboy in his youth, knew exactly how to capture the grit and movement of frontier life before it vanished into history.
