Description
Multiple sketches on a page, including a sketch on the bottom left side of two figures and a horse carrying a barrel of water out of a forest area. There is an orange tint to the paper surface around this image (possibly indicative of the artistic process since there is an additional watercolor painting of this image). Above that are three sketches of Plains Indians, a sketch of a child inside an oval, and an unfinished sketch of a horse. To the right is a sketch of a woman holding a child.
