Spur c. 1941

"Spur," a watercolor painting by American artist Robert W.R. Taylor (1855-1995) was created circa 1941. Taylor is known for his realistic depictions of Western life, including cowboys, horses, and other objects that evoke the era of the American West. This painting showcases Taylor's keen attention to detail, showcasing the craftsmanship and intricate design of a cowboy spur. The use of watercolor allows for a delicate rendering of the metal, leather, and bone elements of the spur.
