Label TextBlack’s cowboy presents a bold image. The artist placed the cowboy on his horse in front of the pattern of the corral fence. The background is a brilliant red orange. Only a few colors are used to make a striking image. The cowboy’s dress includes practical items. He wears a vest. Vests gave protection but left the arms free. Usually they had pockets, useful for storage. His chaps worn over his pants also gave protection. For decoration, his chaps have conchos, metal ornaments.
