At Rest

This is At Rest, a 1926 painting by Walter Ufer, an artist of the Taos Society of Artists known for his vivid depictions of Southwestern life. The scene shows a man leading a white horse while a woman sits on horseback, draped in a dark shawl, with pack animals grazing nearby. Set against the dramatic backdrop of sunlit mountains and storm-filled skies, Ufer’s work captures both the beauty of the landscape and the quiet dignity of everyday life in the Southwest.
