Untitled (Native American Camp)

William De La Montagne Cary

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a river landscape viewed from slightly above. A calm river is central, reflecting trees and the sky. Above, a line of trees and teepees are visible against the sky. The brushstrokes are delicate, capturing details of trees and ripples on the water. The color palette is monochromatic, ranging from light grays to deeper charcoal. Close, on the right, horses and a person on horseback stand in the river. In the distance, the landscape extends into hills.
