Featured in this lot is a set of two Preliminary Drawings and a painting by Charlie Dye, set in a single frame. Charles Dye (1906-1972) was an American artist and painter known for his depictions of cowboys running down or branding cattle and fictional scenes of the old west. The first of the drawings is marked "Pencil Study for Laying the Trip" with the image of a cowboy on horseback roping a running steer. The second pencil study shows a cowboy cooking by a small pond and cooking a meal. The background shows a horse and pack mule by a small hill. The painting displays a pair of cowboys on horseback, moving a herd of cattle through deep snow. The three art pieces are set into a large, gilt gold frame with an off-white border around the art. The piece shows good condition overall, with some light wear. The frame measures 51 1/4" wide by 41" tall with the largest art measuring 29" wide by 19 1/2" tall.
