Artist: WM Sampson

Title:Untitled (Depiction of Cowboys with Prairie Schooner and Horse Herd)

Description: WM "Sonny" Sampson (September 27, 1933 – June 3, 1987) was a Native American painter, actor, and rodeo performer. He was a full-blooded Muskogee Creek tribesman. Profession: U.S. Navy, oil field worker, rodeo contestant, sculptor, painter. The horse on the right features a distinct ownership mark on its left hip known as a "wine glass" brand. In ranching traditions, brands are used as a signature of pride and a way to identify livestock belonging to a specific ranch or owner. In the distant background, a horse-drawn prairie schooner (a light covered wagon) is visible. These wagons were iconic symbols of the American frontier, often used by pioneers and travelers moving across the great plains. Further in the background, a small group of horses appears to be gathered together. This depicts a common ranching activity, such as a horse herd being managed or "fenced in" for work or travel.
