OriginalThe Tenderfoot (1900) by Charles Marion Russell
Reason
Charles Marion Russell, like Frederick Remington, shaped our views of the American West through art. This is a fine artwork - Watercolour if I'm not very mistaken, but I'm not putting that into the description without a source. I think it's part of a series, as there's another painting by the same name showing a cowboy shooting at what I think is the same tenderfoot's feet, making him dance. Was actually looking for that one when I found this - but I'll take this fine artwork.

  • Comment - I don't see any discussion of this painting in the article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:43, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's a good sample of his work. Russell is the sort of artist where you talk more about his art as a whole, and show representative works. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:13, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Weak support - At least a little discussion of the work itself would be very helpful. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:53, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support – from me too! I've added it to the List of paintings by Charles Marion Russell as well; it is an attractive (?)watercolour. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:57, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
