Description:
|
|
In 1837 Miller traveled from New Orleans to the Rocky Mountains with his lifelong friend and patron, the Scottish hunter William Drummond Stewart. In this scene, which Miller based on sketches made during the journey, the artist recorded Stewart’s extensive entourage and baggage caravan traversing an open plain en route to the annual fur trade rendezvous on the Green River, in present-day Wyoming. Drummond himself appears as a gallant figure riding a white horse in the central foreground. (Source: Colby Museum of Art [website]; http://www.colby.edu /museum/)
