The mustang in art

1. Roping Fresh Mounts (1918) by Charles Marion Russell (1864-1927). It is my understanding that the horses in this painting are with all likelihood mustangs.

2. An illustration featuring Mustangs, a Shetland Pony, and a Arabian Horse with a foal from Johnson's household book of nature (1880).

3. Study of a Mustang by Edgar Degas (1834-1917).

4. Wild Horses at Play by George Catlin (1796-1872). Whilst not referring to mustangs specifically this was painted based on sketches done on an expedition to the Southwestern Great Plains so it make sense geographically for them to be mustangs.
