Description

S. Faulkner Western Scene on Leather — Native Rider, Rustic Wood Frame

Original Western painting by S. Faulkner, rendered in ink and pigment on leather and signed lower right. The work depicts a Native rider on an Appaloosa horse beneath a crescent moon, composed in Faulkner’s signature minimalist style. His works—typically created on leather or suede and often set in rustic wooden frames—were produced in the mid-20th century, reflecting the decorative Western art traditions popular in the American Southwest.

This piece captures the solitude and endurance of frontier life through subtle tonal washes and confident linework. Mounted in a handcrafted reclaimed-wood frame without glass, it offers both historic charm and strong decorative presence—ideal for collectors of Western or Americana art.


Condition:

In good condition overall, with light tonal variations, surface marks, and faint stains consistent with the leather medium and age. The rustic wood frame shows scattered wear, small areas of distressing, and minor surface losses, enhancing its authentic frontier aesthetic. Ready to hang.


Dimensions:

Overall: 13.75 × 15.5 inches
Visible image: 7.5 × 9.25 inches
