Description
This cowgirl on horse black white portrait print catches the horse rearing and the rider staying with it, wide-brimmed hat still on, in an open grass field with nothing else in the frame to explain what is happening.
A rearing horse is the pose every equestrian picture wants and almost none get, because it lasts under a second and cannot be asked for. What makes this one work is that the rider is not braced or alarmed. The horse is doing something dramatic and the person on it is not, which is the entire story.
What a cowgirl on horse black white portrait print needs to get right
A vertical subject in an open field leaves clean space on both sides, so it hangs centrally and formally without needing a mount to breathe. It suits a bedroom, a hallway or a country interior, and it is the only equestrian frame in this collection, so it does not compete with anything else on the wall.
The word and the work behind it
The term describes women who did ranch and stock work on horseback long before it described an aesthetic, and the riding skill in a picture like this belongs to that older meaning rather than to the costume version of it. The history is at Wikipedia.
