"Holdup In The Pass" is a notable painting by the American artist W. Herbert Dunton, who is renowned for his depictions of the American West. Created in 1915, this work exemplifies Dunton's skill in capturing the rugged and often perilous life of cowboys and outlaws during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting portrays a dramatic scene of a stagecoach robbery, a common occurrence in the folklore of the American frontier.

Dunton's background as a cowboy and his deep familiarity with the Western lifestyle lend an authenticity to his work that resonates with viewers. His attention to detail and ability to convey movement and tension are evident in "Holdup In The Pass." The composition is dynamic, with the stagecoach and horses depicted in mid-action, and the outlaws positioned strategically to create a sense of imminent danger. The use of light and shadow enhances the drama, highlighting the stark contrasts between the figures and the rugged landscape.

The painting is also significant for its historical context. During the early 20th century, there was a growing nostalgia for the "Old West," as the frontier era was coming to an end. Artists like Dunton played a crucial role in preserving the imagery and myths of this period through their work. "Holdup In The Pass" not only serves as a visual document of a bygone era but also reflects the romanticized view of the West that was popular at the time.

Dunton was a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists, a group dedicated to depicting the American Southwest. His work, including "Holdup In The Pass," has been celebrated for its contribution to American art and its ability to capture the spirit of the West. The painting remains an important piece in the study of Western art and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
