The Last of the Buffalo
c. 1951–1952

A stylized painting depicting a figure in a blue and black outfit carrying a large red flag with a yellow fringe. The background is abstract with earthy tones, and the figure appears to be marching. The artwork has a textured, almost childlike quality, and the artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
