In Within the North Window, a beautiful indigenous woman stands beside a horse that is enjoying the shade of a tree. Set in the Southwest, tall cliffsides rise from the red earth with clear blue skies beyond. The graceful woman, wearing traditional clothing and jewelry, stands in an elegant pose looking toward the horse with her pulled-back coiffure framing her delicate features.
