Here is a fine example of how Remington merged the western subject matter with which he had made his name with his newly developed impressionistic style. The subject is as much the evening in the desert as the Navajoes.The interplay of the colors and shadows formed by the setting sun with the mounted figures provides the central drama of this painting.
