The work is in excellent condition.
Photo is matted and framed. Artist's statement:
"I was teaching photography at Prescott College in Arizona when I met 19-year-old Julie, the daughter of renowned wildlife artist Grant Hagen. She was my student and advisee, and a cowpunchin’ pardner to my wife Kathie and me, when we were horseback help for rancher friends in the area. We three remain close friends to this day. I lucked into a 1981 Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph working cowboys from Canada to Mexico. On my way back south from British Columbia and Alberta, I stopped in at the Wyoming ranch where Julie looked after several hundred mother cows and their calves on a Forest Service allotment in the Gros Ventre Range. Julie had just turned 30 a day or so before I photographed her in the doorway of her rustic residence. She was her usual smiling self on that occasion, so I had to admonish her to get serious for once, because I was down to my last sheet of 8x10 film.
