The bright midday sun casts a sharp shadow beneath the soldiers of the 7^th Cavalry and their horses, emphasizing their steely determination and courage in the face of adversity. The officer at the forefront, distinguished by his fringed leather outfit and pale horse, bears the proud air of authority and command. The regimental flags held aloft by the cavalrymen symbolize the unyielding patriotism and loyalty to their country. The painting effectively captures the essence of the Western mythos.
