About the work

Very fine impression with exceptionally rich color and line quality. Housed in the original frame with original glass. Referenced as plate #76 in Galvin. Nice/clean pencil signature lower right. Remarque on lower left is highly detailed. An uncommon work from Borein’s bucking horse series.

A 1991 auction appraisal form from Butterfield & Butterfield of San Francisco is attached to the reverse. It includes contact information for Harold G. Davidson, author and art dealer who lived in Santa Barbara and was the leading Borein authority. Davidson began accumulating the work of the talented but relatively unknown artist in the late 1950s. He authored the first biography and exhaustive compilation of Borein’s work. Davidson died in 2003.

About the artist…

A native Californian, Edward Borein was born at San Leandro, not far from San Francisco, on October 21, 1873. He began to work as a cowboy at the age of seventeen, and sold his first drawing when he was twenty-one. From that time onwards, irrespective of location as he travelled all over the South-Western United States and as far south as Guatemala, he was an artist. He remained ever devoted to the practice of his professional skill, and at the same time kept up his interest in cowboy life, to the very end.
