• DESCRIPTION: Comments Larry Barsness in The Bison in Art, "This horse looks more like an Arabian charger than an Indian pony, and the buffalo is amazingly spright." Still, it is a dramatic and unusual European rendering of a typical event in Western American life -- an Indian brave about to lasso a charging American buffalo. In the background are other Indian hunters and a herd stampeding across the plains. In the foreground is a large snake.
