DescriptionA cowboy on a bucking bronco on the upper center right of the painting is roping a bear on the lower left. The Cowboy is dressed in a cowboy hat, pink shirt, and a blue kerchief around his neck. He holds onto the horse and the rope with both hands. The rope extends from the horse around the neck of the bear. The bear has both paws extended towards the cowboy and looks like it is growling. The horse is in the middle of jumping and has all four legs off of the ground.On View
