Scouts Climbing a Mountain is a 1896 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a group of scouts climbing a mountain. They are dressed in dark clothing and are riding horses. The horses are brown and black, and the scouts are carrying rifles and other gear. The background of the painting is a light blue sky with a few clouds. The scouts appear to be on a mission, and they are climbing the mountain with purpose. The painting captures a moment of action and adventure. The use of dark colors for the scouts' clothing creates a sense of contrast with the lighter colors of the sky and the mountain.
