A Mexican vaquero twirls a lasso in the air in an arena during a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He wears a sombrero and a bolero jacket with elaborate embroidery work on it. He also wears leather gauntlets with tassles. Two vaqueros ride horses in the background. The audience fills the bleachers under a tent canopy in the background. A large building stands in the distance behind the tent.
