Figure 1.--The photograph looks to be Mexican. A young boy dressed up as a Mexican caring for goats for the photograph. We are not sure about that as the photograph looks a bit contrived, almost as if the boy was purposefully dressed up to look like a shepherd boy. The hat looks moke likev a toursthat than someything a Mexican boy would wear. And the serape does not seem to match yje boy's modertn shirt and pants. The photograph looks photograpically posed and was probably taken in the 1970s or later. And we think that by this time that there were no longer many shepherd boys in Mexico.

Albert Watson is a celebrated Scottish photographer known for his iconic fashion, celebrity, and art photography, with a career spanning over five decades. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland (1942). He studied graphic design at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and later pursued film and television at the Royal College of Art in London. Despite being blind in one eye since birth, he included photography in his studies. He moved to the United States to pursue photography, first as a hobby, but and quickly began a photographic career and gained recognition for his unique style. We think a photograph of a Mexican boys with goats might be his work. he dealer identifies the photographer only as Watson.
