DescriptionA man dressed like a cowboy sits in a saddle on the back of a multi-colored horse in New Mexico. A wall of earth and rock is behind him. He wears a wide brimmed hat, button-down shirt, tie, holster around his waist with a pistol, and there is a lasso attached to the saddle. The ridder and horse are positioned to the side, revealing their profile. The ridder looks over his right shoulder, turning his head to the camera.

The bottom right corner of the glass plate is broken and missing.
