This serene Western heritage fine art print depicts two Native American women gathering water along a calm riverbank. The woman on the left stands holding a copper kettle, dressed in a beautifully detailed traditional buckskin dress with fringe and beaded ornamentation, her hair in long braids. Her companion is knelt beside her at the water's edge, dipping a pottery vessel into the river, creating gentle ripples on the water's surface which reflects their forms. The scene is enveloped in soft, natural light with golden marsh reeds and bare trees in the background, characteristic of the artist's focus on historical realism and light. The work is signed "R.S. Riddick", dated 2000, and marked with his CAA (Cowboy Artists of America) designation within the matrix in the lower right corner. The piece is professionally housed under glass with a textured brown double mat board in a polished, cherry-finished bevelled wooden frame with a slender gilded inner lip.
