Product Details:

Fight for the Waterhole by Frederic Remington is a tense and somber painting that depicts a group of cowboys entrenched behind rocks in a barren, sun-scorched landscape, desperately defending a precious waterhole. The figures, weary and battle-worn, clutch rifles and peer across the desert for signs of attack, suggesting an ongoing or imminent conflict - with Native American warriors. The stark, dry terrain and harsh lighting emphasize the isolation and desperation of the men, while Remington’s use of earthy tones and expressive brushwork heightens the mood of grit and survival. This painting reflects both the physical harshness of the West and the psychological toll of frontier warfare.
