His love of the land and the animals that dwell in it became fully embodied with his discovery of the Big Bend region of Texas. Spruce is Texas' greatest chronicler of the dry desert regions of Texas and the animals of that land. This canvas is an excellent example of Spruce's interpretation of one of Texas' iconic creatures.<B>Condition Report:</B> Original canvas in good condition.
