The Expedition Leaving Fort Frontenac on Lake Ontario. November 18, 1678

George Catlin I, 1847/1848

The image shows an aerial view of a shoreline with people in colorful clothing on the sandy shore. In the sea, there are small and larger vessels, the latter with a dark sail and people on board. The horizon meets the sea, blending with the sky above, which has a gradient of pinks and blues with clouds. The brushstrokes are smooth, detailing the scene. The color palette includes green, ochre, and blue-green tones for the land, sand, sea, and sky. The background shows structures and greenery along the coast.
