One of four oversized standing figures by Wight, this is a self-portrait of the artist, done with a very angular approach to the face. It pairs with "Farmer" opposite, two "workers of the land" standing opposite Albro's depiction of agriculture. They stand in contrast to his other two figures, which are industrial workers that face Stackpole's mural of factory work.
It's perhaps ironic that the artist made himself into the quintessential American icon, the cowboy, with fancy chaps and a six-shooter - because Clifford Wight was an English sculptor.
