Description
Photograph of a painting depicting a cattle stampede, by W.R. Leigh, ca.1880. A cowboy wearing a hat and carrying a gun and a rope at his side gallops on his darkly-colored house in front while another cowboy can be seen flipping over his lightly-colored horse as it trips. A flurry of cattle can be seen behind them with their heads low and their horns pointed towards the foreground. Another cowboy can be seen in the back on the left shooting at the cattle to the right.
