La Salle errichtet ein Kreuz und nimmt das Land in Besitz, 25. März 1682

George Catlin I, 1847/1848

The image depicts a group of people gathered in a clearing next to a riverbank. The horizon features lush trees and a pale blue sky with wispy clouds. In the foreground, Indigenous individuals interact with men in European-style clothing near a tall cross. Nearby, a collection of rounded huts is nestled among tall trees. The brushstrokes are fine with detailed crowd and subtle texture in vegetation. The color palette includes earthy browns, greens, and soft pastels in the sky.
