A wooded encampment scene by A.D.M. Cooper, one of the most prolific Western painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The composition centers around a large decorated tepee, flanked by at least nine Native figures across the clearing—some seated, others standing with spears or gathered in conversation. A single figure and a dog rest in the shade at right, while the filtered light and receding trees create an atmospheric sense of calm and depth.
Oil on canvas, signed lower left “A.D.M. Cooper.”
