Horseback Riders Original Artwork

11.5 X 18.5 Oil
Three riders, one in a red riding jacket, ride before Cottonwoods in what appears to be the Bottoms in Idaho. The scene is like a section of a frieze that Minerva painted in her living room in Cokeville, Wyoming. She created what would be a 360-degree view if you took a number of steps out from what have been the front of her homestead. Teichert created this to remind her of life along the Snake River. The frieze, just over a foot tall, lines the top of all four walls next to the ceiling in the living room where she did all her painting.

1888-1976

The works of western American artist, Minerva Teichert, have received increasingly popular and critical acclaim in recent years. Today, Teichert is beloved among the LDS community as a woman who successfully combined faith and family and left an extraordinary legacy of artistic production.

Minerva Kohlhepp was born in North Ogden, but grew up homestead farming in the vicinity of American Falls, Idaho. Her father encouraged her childhood sketching and she soon developed an “indomitable will to succeed and excel in the field of art.” She taught school to raise enough money to go to Chicago for her art studies.
