This scene is similar to other versions of racing
teams of horses pulling a stage toward the viewer in competition
with time. The trail is flanked at the left by rocky cliffs
and a golden leafed tree. The stage raises a cloud of dust
as it rolls over a desert floor.
This painting was owned by Leonard K. Firestone, Rancho Mirage,
CA. It was given to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western
Heritage Center, Oklahoma City, OK (1993).
No prints of this painting were published. The image was reversed
left to right in the movie.
