A horizontal photogravure in sepia tones depicts a Blackfoot man on a horse drinking from a river. Centered, the man wears a feathered headdress and decorated tunic. The horse bows into shallow water near a rocky bank on the left. Soft, painterly textures and subtle tonal shifts define the steep hills rising in the background and the river extending toward the distant, hazy horizon.
