Hello, this item is a pencil-signed and dated etching by Edward Borein (American, 1872–1945), titled One of the Rough String and dated 1915. Known for his dynamic portrayals of Western Americana—particularly cowboys, Native Americans, and vaqueros—Borein’s works are highly collectible, especially when signed in pencil, as this piece is. The composition features a vigorous, galloping horse and rider with lasso, rendered in rich, tonal drypoint technique characteristic of Borein’s finest work.

With dimensions of 9 7/8 by 6 7/8 inches (plate), and assuming the condition is stable and untrimmed, this etching belongs to Borein’s earlier and most desirable period of production. Pencil-signed impressions from 1915 are especially valued by collectors of early 20th-century Western printmaking. Based on recent auction records and private sales, this piece would be valued in the range of $2,000 to $3,000 USD, potentially higher if accompanied by original gallery labels or inclusion in catalogue raisonnés. Borein’s market remains strong, especially for dated, signed impressions of high-action scenes like this.
