Sephiotone Cowboy Sketch
This is a sepia-toned monochromatic sketch or lithographic print on paper, depicting a cowboy in a dynamic, expressive style. The composition focuses on a figure wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, rendered with quick, energetic strokes that suggest movement or wind. The medium appears to be charcoal, conté crayon, or a wash, finished in various shades of brown and tan on an off-white or cream-colored paper support. The artwork exhibits a high degree of gestural draftsmanship, typical of late 20th-century Western American art. Notable features include the textured rendering of the hat's brim and the suggestive details of a rope or lasso tucked under the arm. The paper shows horizontal orientation and appears to be an unframed sheet with relatively clean margins, although there is a faint shadow cast across the top center of the image from an external light source or person when photographed. Small notations are visible in the upper and lower left corners, which may indicate a signature (possibly 'Vagne' or similar) or a limited edition number, though they are not fully legible. The condition appears fair to good reflecting its age, with no immediate signs of significant foxing, tearing, or staining visible on the primary subject area, though the paper edges show slight undulation.
