Elling William Gollings brings the Old West to life with this rugged cowboy, who looks ready for a day's work or a smoke break—perhaps both. The figure sports distinctive plaid trousers and a hat punched with ventilation holes, proving Gollings (a former cowboy himself) cared about authentic details rather than just Hollywood stereotypes. Holding a lasso in one hand and a cigarette in the other, he exudes a casual confidence typical of Gollings' realistic style, captured here in fluid watercolor washes.
