Gathering for the Chief

This conversation is connected to Gathering for the Chief.

Riders on horseback and figures on foot converge on a camp of tipis under a pale yellow sky, with blue hills low on the horizon. The figures are seen mostly from behind — blankets in black, teal, yellow, orange, and pink, painted in fast blocks of color. A covered wagon sits at the left edge. The whole composition is a crowd scene built from color: every figure is a different hue, every horse a different tone. Black's signature is in the lower left.
