In this work, Harrison Begay—one of the most celebrated Navajo painters of the 20th century—depicts a horseman riding through Monument Valley in search of strayed animals. Rendered in Begay’s distinctive flat, precise style, the painting blends everyday Navajo life with a sense of harmony between people, animals, and the Southwestern landscape.
