DescriptionThree pronghorn antelope in front of mountains. The title that the seller (Montgomery Gallery) used was: Prong-Horned Antelope with the Rocky Mountains Beyond. However, there is some uncertainty about whether these are the Wind Rivers or Wasatch mountains or the Sierras. Steve Good suugests this is based on sketches from the first Wyoming trip.
