A bad hoss
1905
Charles Marion Russell, the legendary 'Cowboy Artist,' captures the absolute chaos of a bucking bronco in this dynamic watercolor. You can almost feel the dust kicking up as the rider leans dangerously far back, his hat flying off into the ether while he clings to the reins of the 'bad hoss.' Painted in the early 1900s, this piece perfectly encapsulates the rugged, untamed spirit of the American West that Russell lived and breathed before he ever became famous for painting it.
