Three Indigenous American figures sit atop horses, situated on the banks of a river. The composition captures a moment of peaceful activity, as two horses drink from the water and another raises his head in apparent alertness. The center figure is adorned in a traditional feather headdress—or warbonnet—and gestures upwards. The painting showcases the artist’s skill in capturing naturalistic scenes with expressive brushwork.
