"Whooping It Up" (1895) by Charles M. Russell depicts a chaotic scene in a frontier town, capturing the spirit of the American West. Four cowboys on horseback, guns drawn, race through the street as a Chinese laundryman runs for cover, his basket of clothes spilling onto the ground. The humorous portrayal of Western life, with its action and detail, reflects Russell's skill in capturing the energy and humor of frontier days.
