Water! c. 1890

"Water!" is a painting by Frederic Remington, a leading artist of the American West, depicting cowboys and their horses in the vast and arid landscape. The artwork captures the harsh realities of life on the frontier, with the cowboys seeking solace and relief in a small body of water, their weary figures and exhausted mounts reflecting the difficulties they face. Remington's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, enhancing the depiction of the rugged Western environment. The artist's signature "FREDERIC REMINGTON" can be seen in the lower right corner of the painting.
