“This is a two young man a sport/ and the man is on the horse and sport/ Charlie T. Robb” (Artist’s inscription, verso)

“Two young Sioux men, dressed in their finest, are shown riding to a social dance or out courting (see Nº9). The man on the left wears his blanket draped around him, and a long chain of German silver hairplates are attached to his braid. The man on the right also wears a blanket and carries a sword. The most remarkable feature of this drawing is the foreshortening in the rear view of the horses and men. This was something fairly alien to traditional Plains Indian painting, and that it is done so well attests to the artist's innate ability to draw naturalistically. The studied care with which the horses are rendered bespeaks a lifetime of involvement with these animals.” (p.40)
