DescriptionThis image depicts a closeup shot of one of the murals inside the Hilton Hotel dining room at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The mural depicts two cowboys on horseback in a cattle drive. The man on horseback closest to the camera is attempting to rope a cow that has strayed from the herd. Numerous other cows can be seen in the background behind the men on horseback. This whole scene takes place on a large flat plane. In the far background, a covered wagon can be seen being pulled by two oxen.
