Fight for the Waterhole is a 1903 oil by Frederic Remington, a american_impressionism work, depicting hunting, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows two men lying in the dirt, aiming their rifles. They wear wide-brimmed hats and dark clothing. In the background, a group of horses stands near a small pool of water. The men are in a desert landscape with mountains in the distance. The painting is done in warm, muted colors. The scene is tense, with the men focused on their target. The horses seem to be waiting, perhaps for the men to return. The mountains rise up in the background, adding to the sense of vastness and isolation. This painting is by Frederic Remington.
