About the piece

Created around 1890, this oil painting by Frederic Remington is a hallmark of Western American art. The composition captures a moment of intense urgency as cowboys on rearing, muscular horses attempt to save a fellow rider from the dust of a stampede. Remington’s signature style—characterized by anatomical precision and a dusty, sun-bleached palette—elevates this action-packed scene into a timeless narrative of camaraderie and peril.
