Work Description: 
In this black and white portrait, a young Clyfford Still poses with a horse before a flat landscape in Bow Island, Alberta, Canada. Still wears a scout's uniform with a broad-rimmed hat and a long coat belted at the waist. The coat's front left pocket features several medals and commemorative pins. Standing with his arms positioned at his sides, Still holds the horse's reins in his left hand; with his right hand, he grips the barrel of a rifle so that its stock rests against the ground. Positioned upon a patch of grass in the otherwise snow-covered field, Still and the horse both face the camera.
