It shows a cowboy lassoing cattle while a figure stands in the background. A monsoon cloud building in the distance adds to the excitement. Megargee had initially planned to also depict sheep in a separate painting, but finally rejected the idea in favor of more action.Date Original1913Date Range1910s (1910-1919)TypeStill ImageOriginal FormatPaintings (visual works)Contributing InstitutionArizona Capitol MuseumCollectionLon Megargee PaintingsRights StatementIn Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/ Copyright and/or publication rights for all images in this collection are retained by this institution.
