| Description: | The brown outline of Sentinel Rock stands in the center against a hazy bright sky. Beyond it on the left is seen the dim outline of distant cliffs. A steep, sunlit slope climbs to the right in front of the rock; in front of that is a dark shadowed forest on the valley floor. A river flows from the lower center of the painting to cover the entire front edge; on a point on the right bank is a tepee and other fixtures of a small camp. To the right of the tepee is a small broadleaf tree, and still farther to the right a dead tree stands with branches in a wide Y. On the left bank are brighter trees, with one conifer reaching up to the sky. In the left foreground, rocks line the banks of the river. (From a color photograph.) |
