On Their Way to Camp

Amerikanische Malerei 1870–1877, 1873

This painting depicts a snowy forest scene with a path running through tall, leafless trees. On the path in the center of the painting, two men are pulling a sled loaded with barrels towards the right, while a small child sits on the barrels, holding a wooden bucket. The men wear long pants, vests, and hats in shades of blue, brown, black, red, and tan, while the child wears brown pants and a green jacket with a white scarf and a blue hat. All three people have light skin and brown hair. The forest around them is dense, made up of mostly brown trees and branches with a hint of pale gray sky in the background. Behind the people, in the trees, there also appears to be a small wooden structure with a faint orange fire.
