DescriptionThe image is dominated by a central grouping of animals: manned horses, bull, calf, foal, and sheep, all in movement toward the right edge of the support. Native American figures ride the horses, the second Native figure grasping a female figure with arms outstretched. A cabin with a male figure brandishing a rifle can be seen in the left background while on the right other mounted Native figures exit the scene.On View
