This work reimagines the portrait of Joseph Hyacinthe François de Paule de Rigaud, an 18th century French colonial nobleman and courtier to Louis XVI. The portrait twists the traditional pose of male sitters in regal garb. The title playfully nods to a country song her sitter enjoys, while the buckle references elite Mexican vaquero culture.
