The Belated Party on Mansfield Mountain

Jerome B. Thompson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A group of people are gathered on a rocky mountain top. A man stands at the back on a rocky outcrop, wearing a hat and jacket, looking out over the landscape. Two men are sitting on the rocky outcrop. A woman is seated on the ground with her head resting on the lap of another woman, who is sitting next to her. The woman on the ground wears an orange dress; the woman sitting next to her wears a white shirt and a black skirt. There are several blankets and a basket on the ground next to them. In the background, there are more mountains and hills under a cloudy sky. A large, pointed mountain peak rises on the right side.
