Ceremony of the Fastest Horse is a 1900 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows two men on horseback in a rugged landscape. The man in the back has long hair and a feather in it, holding a spear. He's wearing a loincloth. The man in front is wearing a white shirt and pants. They're riding a black and white horse. The background is rocky and hilly. The men seem to be in a hurry, and the horse is running fast. The rider in the back is holding on tight, while the one in front is looking ahead. The artist who painted this is Frederic Remington.
Frederic Sackrider Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art.
