The Lookout is a 1894 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting depicts a man on horseback, gazing out into the distance. The man is dressed in a dark jacket, light pants, and a hat, and he holds the reins of the horse in his left hand. The horse is brown with a white patch on its forehead and stands on rocky terrain. The background of the painting is a hazy, light-colored landscape that stretches out to the horizon. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the man lost in thought as he surveys his surroundings.
