Ojibwa Portaging Around the Falls of St. Anthony

A waterfall spills over a rocky ledge at left into a broad river, while a green hillside with scattered trees rises beyond. Along the riverbank and slope, small figures carry bundles and loads in a line, passing around the rocks in an oil painting on canvas.
