DescriptionBlack and white. In a rodeo arena under a cloudy sky, three figures (clowns, but not dressed as such) ride, left to right, a pig, a goat, and another pig. The pigs wear head straps with cow horns. The goat wears a large clanging bell around its neck and a rug on its back. Its rider, wearing a sombrero and gloves, is the largest figure. He holds the reins in his gloved proper left hand and cracks a long whip with his gloved proper right hand. The figure on the left also wears a sombrero, holds folding sticks in his bare hands. The figure on the right is a boy or dwarf in a long stocking cap, a tee shirt and shorts, and holds something upright with bare hands.
