Like the nearby Four Dogs (2013.437), this etching reflects Reinhart’s affection for hunting. In most of his depictions of animals, he included the entire body, but he truncated this image of a buffalo. It may be reference to the well-known practice of mounting animal heads and other parts as trophies after a successful hunt.
