Artist, American, 1900 - 1968

The image shows a top-down view of a figure riding a horse down a steep, barren slope. The rider is depicted with detailed line work. A line of horsemen can be seen behind them, descending in a formation. In the distance, more riders are faintly outlined against a pale backdrop. The horizon is undefined, creating a sense of vastness. The color scheme is monochromatic in sepia and beige tones, emphasizing the stark landscape and solitude of the figures. The brushstrokes and lines suggest movement down the slope.
