Exceptional occupational tinmtype portrait of a rugged cowboy posed with a coiled rope and holding a lariat, likely taken in the American West during the late 19th century. This tintype is housed in a red-line CDV-style paper mount, a transitional format often seen in the 1870s–80s. Tintypes remained popular for their durability and affordability.

The subject stands outdoors against a plain wooden fence, possibly part of a ranch. He is dressed in typical cowboy attire—broad-brimmed hat, neckerchief, heavy trousers, and boots. Both gloved hands are engaged: one with the lariat, the other holding the loop. His steely expression and confident stance speak to the hard labor and skill required of cattlemen during this period.

These tintype cowboy portraits are increasingly scarce, especially in the CDV-sized mount.
