Am Abgrund - der Kampf ums Packpferd

The oil painting captures a dangerous and highly dramatic scene in which two cowboys on their panicked prancing horses desperately try to save a packhorse that is dangerously close to the edge and about to fall. The cowboys are fighting with all their might against the restlessness of their horses, which, filled with fear, beat their hooves on the rocky ground and kick up the dust. The horses are full of nervousness and tension, making it difficult for the cowboys to maintain control and save the packhorse from falling. The sky is painted in ominous shades of gray and yellow, suggesting a new storm and adding to the drama of the scene. The clouds are piling up in the sky and a diffuse, gloomy light is cast over the landscape, as if nature itself were underlining the danger. The packhorse appears visibly frightened and looks at the riders as if it were pleading for help in a silent cry for help.
