"Riding the Range" by O.C. Seltzer is a timeless masterpiece capturing the essence of the American West. This print, measuring 45" in width and 31.5" in height, showcases Seltzer's exceptional talent and attention to detail. Painted in 1911 and copyrighted on April 15, 1911, this work transports viewers to the rugged landscapes and iconic scenes of cowboy life.

Born in Denmark and later settling in Great Falls, Montana, Seltzer's prolific career as a painter and illustrator spanned over 2,500 works, earning him renown for his depictions of the American West. His journey alongside Charles M. Russell and his subsequent independent work reflected his deep connection to the region's history and culture.

From his early days as a machinist for the Great Northern Railway to his later achievements as an illustrator for The New York Tribune and exhibitions in Seattle and Oklahoma, Seltzer's legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide. His paintings, encompassing both watercolor and oil mediums, vividly portray cowboys, animals, historical events, and pioneers like Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

Bid now to own a piece of Western history with "Riding the Range" by O.C. Seltzer, a testament to the enduring allure of the American West and the timeless artistry of one of its most celebrated painters.
