Im Strum des Westens – Der Anritt der Cowboys

The oil painting captures a powerful, sunlit scene in which a group of cowboys set off from right to left in a wild gallop. The bright daylight bathes the scene in an intense glow, emphasizing the dusty ground that blends with the sun's rays and appears to shimmer. The cowboys ride forward at a rapid pace as if entering a chase, their bodies tense, hats pulled low over their faces, and their horses in full swing. In the background, more saddled, restless horses can be seen, held by cowboys who are about to mount to follow the group in front. The entire scene conveys a sense of tense anticipation as the cowboys are in a synchronized departure. The landscape and surroundings are depicted schematically and without clear contours, which puts the focus on the energy and drama of the gallop.
