Virgina Eastwood in ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ 2013

Felice House’s 2013 painting, “Virgina Eastwood in ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’,” is a highly realistic depiction of a woman wearing a traditional cowboy outfit, complete with a poncho and a wide-brimmed hat. Standing in a desert landscape, the figure’s pose and expression suggest a sense of strength and defiance, referencing the iconic character of Tuco, played by Eli Wallach in Sergio Leone’s 1966 film, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." The background, with its rugged terrain and distant mountains, adds to the atmospheric quality of the work, making it a captivating example of contemporary portraiture.
