In the foreground at right, Olaf Seltzer’s Trail Boss physically dominates the cowboys and herd he oversees. He looms, twice as large as their other men, larger still than the animals that stretch back into the picture’s vanishing point. His head, high as the farthest vista and cloud, suggests his elevated stature, but the fact that he doesn’t even look at the men and cattle lends him an air of complete confidence in his outfit, and in his authority.
