DescriptionA Native American man on horseback wades into the shallow water, followed by two animals swimming behind him. Three figures sit and stand on the shore, spearing fish. The encampment of teepees can be seen on the horizon, tiny against the wide, grassy plains, a line of trees, and a faint mountain range that dissolves into the blue sky above.Collections
