Last Chance or Bust 1900

"Last Chance or Bust" is a watercolor painting by Charles M. Russell, created in 1900. It depicts a group of Native American figures riding horses across a shallow stream, with several others trailing behind. Russell is known for his depictions of Native American life and the American West, often romanticizing the lifestyle and portraying a sense of the frontier. This particular painting captures the struggles and resilience of Native American cultures during a period of rapid change in the West. The use of watercolor allows for delicate details and a sense of movement, capturing the moment as the group makes their way across the landscape.
