Side Saddle - California Syle

Harry Mann Waddell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an illustrated saddle with a floral pattern covering the majority of its surface. The color palette includes greens, reds, blues, and browns within the floral design. The saddle's leather components are in various shades of brown and black. The saddle is centrally positioned, with its base angled slightly to the left and its front facing upward. On the left side, a brown leather portion with the number "255" is visible. The right side of the saddle appears to curve along the composition's edge. The text "HARRY MANN WADDELL" is inscribed below the saddle on the right side of the image.
