The Lazy K Y 1905

"The Lazy K Y" is a watercolor painting by Charles M. Russell, a celebrated artist known for his depictions of the American West. Created in 1905, the painting captures the essence of a cattle ranch in the rugged landscape of the Western United States. The scene portrays a cowboy on horseback, overseeing a herd of cattle near a small, rustic ranch house. The sprawling, open expanse of the Montana landscape dominates the background, with rolling hills and distant mountains. Russell's signature style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and muted colors, capturing the tranquility and vastness of the American West.
