The Mixed Herd shows a cowboy riding at the front of a diverse group of horses and cattle moving through an arid desert landscape. Alongside the herd, deer mingle naturally, adding to the scene’s quiet harmony. Other cowboys are visible among the animals, helping guide the group past rocky outcroppings and sparse desert vegetation. The composition creates a strong sense of depth, with the herd stretching far into the distance beneath an open sky.
This 1959 reproduction is an etching by Montana cowboy artist Art Brown. Born in 1911 and raised near Great Falls, Brown was a self-taught artist whose sketches captured everyday moments of Western life. Known for his honest and unpolished style, Brown’s work has been compared to Charles Russell and provides a window into the rugged landscapes and lifestyles of the American West.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
