Striking in its modern composition and brilliant color, this large pastel drawing by Henry Dousa depicts a herd of cattle shown at World's Columbian Exposition in 1893.

Henry Dousa is known for his iconic Folk Art painting, “The Farm of Henry Windle,” where he illustrates an out-of-scale giant steer. In this masterwork, Dousa arranges five cattle like pips on a die. A single sire, named, “Gay Harry,” is surrounded by four heifers, “Kitty Walls,” “Kitty Mayo,” “Cherry May,” and “Model.” Gay Harry won second place at the Grand Sweepstakes.
