DescriptionA group of Native Americans, one male figure and three female figures, weaving and displaying rugs are the central image of the work. A female figure, to the left, and the male figure, on the right, each stand with arms extended holding a rug for display. Behind them, a second female figure is in the process of weaving a rug. In front of them, at their feet, the third female figure sits on a rug and appears to be weaving a basket. Three additional male figures, dressed in western attire, frame the central tableau. On the left a man stands holding the reigns of a horse and a man kneels at his feet. On the right a man stands with two dogs at his feet. The background is foliage.On View
