Indian Encampment is a 1855 oil by George Catlin, a American Folk Art work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a forest. They are sitting and standing near a body of water, surrounded by trees and plants. The people are wearing simple clothing and some have objects in their hands. The painting is done in warm colors, with lots of greens and browns. It looks like it's daytime, but the light is soft and not very bright. There are some logs and branches on the ground, and a few animals can be seen in the distance. The artist who painted this is George Catlin.
George Catlin ( KAT-lin; July 26, 1796 – December 23, 1872) was an American lawyer, painter, author, and traveler, who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the American frontier.
