A golden field is punctuated by two Native Americans on horseback, riding into the vast, rolling landscape that stretches before them. The background features a series of peaks, shrouded in a distant haze that evokes the sense of an unattainable “beyond.” The pale sky, with its wispy clouds, only adds to the impression of vastness and grandeur. The use of perspective and composition emphasizes the small size of the figures in comparison to the breadth of the landscape.
