Apparently given to the University of Chicago at the urging of major Rungius collector Ernest Quantrell. According to the Smart Museum deaccession paper, the painting hung at Ida Noyes Hall for some period of time after its donation. Other research indicates it hung in the South Lounge of the Reynolds Club.

“Carl Rungius with his downsweeping herd in the “End of the Round-Up: is vigorous and intent upon conveying the idea of motion, but he has let his landscape shift for itself rather casually.”
