DescriptionA party of Native Americans on horseback rides through the river valley to cross the Green River. The blue, mirror-like water, framed by the rocky hill at the right and the square cliffs in the background, reflects a small peninsula of trees at the left. In the distance, faint buttes fade into the luminous sky of a setting sun.Collections
