Donald Teague, a renowned Western illustrator and painter of the Old West, honed his skills at the Art Students League. After serving in WWI and studying under Norman Wilkinson in London, he began illustrating for The Saturday Evening Post and Collier's under the pseudonym Edwin Dawes. Settling in California in 1938, Teague focused exclusively on Western themes after Collier's closure. His meticulous process involved initial sketches, studio models, and photostats for composition. Teague's work also adorned calendars with "Masterpieces of the Old West," showcasing his enduring impact on Western art.

The painting appears to be in good condition. There is no evidence of restoration.
