A Native American warrior leads a throng of ponies and riders across a desert landscape. The scene is charged with a sense of anticipation as the ponies race towards the viewer in a swirl of dust. The muted pinks and oranges of the evening sky add a sense of serenity to the piece, and the delicacy of Morgan’s watercolor similarly contrasts the intensity of the moment.
