William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody rides a dark horse in the left midground in a dirt arena during a rehearsal for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. A group of Native Americans on horseback is gathered in the right midground watching Cody ride in front of them. Cody wears a dark hat and a dark, striped suit. Gaiters that lace up the side cover his lower pant legs. Several of the Native Americans wear feathers on the backs of their heads. A woman stands in the left background under a large tent. She holds her hands on her hips. A group of men is gathered under the tent in the center background. Most of the men wear derby hats and suits.
