Working in the saddle starting at 19 years old, William Gollings considered himself a cowboy first and an artist second. He started drawing first and was exposed to paint through a mail-order kit purchased when he was 25 years old. He was later taught printmaking under Hans Kleiber. In 1909, he built a studio in Sheridan, Wyoming, where he lived an ornery and private life until his death in 1932. This work, dated 1904, is shown as Untitled – Three Indians in the book Elling William “Bill” Gollings: A Cowboy Artist.
