- Description:
- A toy of a cowboy pointing a handgun while riding a white horse, in profile. The horse, muscles clenched in effort, extends across the frame, nose to the left edge and tail fanning off the right. The cowboy is light skinned, wearing a blue shirt, red bandana, and grey hat, he's not holding the reins but is hunched forward with his right arm extended ahead. The focus is soft, almost watery, and the background is dull white at the top, red at the right and blue at the left. The gun and the horse's tail are the only things in focus.
- Notes:
- One of about 50 prints by Levinthal held at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum. Because Levinthal uses Polaroid Polacolor film, each print is unique.
