Specialist note

Conceived in 1969, The Marshal depicts John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn in the film True Grit, a role for which the actor received the Academy Award of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for Best Actor in 1969. The equestrian portrait was originally commissioned for the cover of the August 8, 1969 issue of Time magazine.
