Schreyvogel (1861-1912) was born to a poor German immigrant family on the Lower East
Side of New York and despite limited travels became one of the most popular western
artists at the turn of the last century. He was largely self-taught and lived most of his life
in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he produced the majority of his work, drawing his models
en plein air
on the rooftop of his Hoboken apartment building.
Anne Morand, former curator, National Cowboy &Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma
City, and C.M. Russell Museum, Great Falls, has confirmed the authenticity of this drawing.
