About this work

This photo shows four people riding horses across dry, open land. The riders wear long cloaks and carry bundles on their backs. The horses move in a line, kicking up dust from the hard ground. In the distance, a rocky hill rises under a pale sky. The title says these riders are Apache. The photo looks like an old print, with dark tones and no color. The riders’ faces are blurred, making them feel distant. Next, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more of this work.
