Tawahquena Village

The image is viewed from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon line is positioned in the upper third of the image where trees meet the sky, with teepees nestled at the base. Delicate brushstrokes are used, particularly in the depiction of the sky, which blends blue and peach tones. The scene is painted in warm colors, with greens for the grass and trees, browns for the horses, and reds in the grass. There are figures near horses and open grasslands leading to trees and teepees in the distance.
