About the piece
Created around 1870 by artist John Mix Stanley, this painting captures a somber and evocative scene of the Chinook burial grounds. The work juxtaposes the gnarled branches of a skeletal tree with the traditional elevated canoe burials of the Pacific Northwest, all bathed in the golden, hazy light of a setting sun.
