    Not a Chinaman’s Chance (1894)

    Charles Marion Russell (American, 1864–1926)

    A lone cowboy stands frozen, rifle raised, as a grizzly rears on its hind legs. Dust swirls between them—tense silence before the clash. The West’s raw danger pulses in that suspended moment, where survival hangs by a thread.

    The Roping (1914)

    William Robinson Leigh (American, 1866–1955)

    A cowboy leans low in the saddle, rope taut as his horse digs in. Dust swirls around them, the moment stretched thin between control and chaos. The horse’s muscles strain, eyes wild—caught in the raw tension of the throw.
