VERSO
Signed and titled

Johnson biographer Harold McCracken wrote, “Another outstanding characteristic of Frank Tenney Johnson’s work is the exceptionally fine ability he had in portraying horses in his pictures. He had a natural compatibility with horses and had a real fondness for these animals. From his earliest experience in riding on cattle roundups as a working cowboy in the Colorado back country in 1904, he was a fine horseman with all the other essential capabilities.”
