Casa Alegre 1899

"Casa Alegre" is a watercolor painting by Charles M. Russell, depicting a lively scene in the American West. Completed in 1899, the painting showcases Russell's signature style of capturing the Western frontier with its vibrant colors and romanticized portrayal of cowboys, Native Americans, and frontier life. The painting features a woman in a white dress dancing in the foreground, with a group of cowboys looking on, one strumming a guitar. The scene is set in front of a rustic adobe building, perhaps a saloon or a general store, adding to the sense of frontier life and entertainment.
