Cowboy 1972

"Cowboy" is a 1972 ink drawing by American sculptor Alexander Calder. It features a simplified, almost cartoonish depiction of a cowboy with a hat, holding a lasso, and a stylized black horse with a red sun in the background. The lines are bold and fluid, characteristic of Calder's style. This playful work exemplifies Calder's exploration of line and form in his later years, departing from his signature mobiles and stabiles.
