Originating in the Spanish colonial era, the culture thrived in regions like Texas and became entrenched in American folklore through novels, films, and art. Cowboys are celebrated for their distinct attire, including the wide-brimmed hat seen in this image, which serves to protect them from harsh weather conditions. They represent a fusion of Spanish, Indigenous, and American traditions, which has evolved into the romanticized image of the cowboy that persists in modern media.
