The Expedition Encamped below the Falls of Niagara. January 20, 1679

George Catlin I, 1847/1848

The image shows a winter scene with an icy river and activity on the shore. A rocky cliff partially covered in snow is on the right, with evergreen trees. On the left, the river flows towards a distant waterfall, creating a natural division. The horizon is low, emphasizing the surrounding cliffs and the waterfall. The artwork has smooth brushstrokes for the water and sky, while rocks and trees are more textured. The color palette is mainly cool tones of blues and whites for the icy landscape, with earth tones in the cliffs and figures. People on the shore are engaged in various activities, with boats and tents nearby.
