DescriptionTwo children are outdoors in New Mexico on the edge of a wooded area and fenced field. One stands barefoot in a knee length dress, holding a large camera at the waist, looking down into it. The camera faces another adolescent posing on a horse, dressed as a cowboy. The horse is prepared with a lasso, leather saddle, bags and holsters. The child wears a large brimmed hat, dark scarf around the neck, has knee high leather boots and wears a holster around the waist with a pistol inside. The top right corner is cracked and broken in two pieces.
