Portfolio I, Plate 24: A Hilltop Camp-Jicarilla is a 1904 by Edward S. Curtis, depicting tent, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a camp on a hilltop with people and horses. It's interesting because it gives us a glimpse into the daily life of the Jicarilla people. The details in the painting, like the tents and the people's clothing, suggest that the artist was trying to document their way of life. You can learn more about this type of documentation by looking at the work of artist Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868–1952).
