About the piece

Painted in 1870, Worthington Whittredge’s 'Indian Encampment' exemplifies the Hudson River School's fascination with the American West. The composition balances the monumental scale of the sun-drenched mountains with the quiet life of the figures along the riverbank, all rendered in a harmonious palette of gold and amber.
