GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Small but exquisite in its handling, this sketchy scene of cattle in a river is typical of the work of Frank Reaugh, often called "The Rembrandt of the Longhorns." A beloved teacher in Dallas and a highly successful artist who exhibited nationwide, Reaugh conducted regular sketching trips to West Texas. The work's small size and choice of medium indicate it was likely done quickly outside during one of those journeys.
