| Size: | 30 x 60 inches (76 x 152 cm) |

| Provenance: | In private collection, Dublin, Ireland, received by gift in the early 1980s from a shipping family. |
| Citations: | Personal communication with the collector, 2014 |
| Site: | Unidentified. The topography suggests the northern California lava beds, an area that is currently known as the Lava Beds National Monument. |
| Description: | With the addition of a white horse in the background to the right and the subtraction of a saddle on the ground, the description of [Desert landscape with Indians and tepee I] would also apply to this painting. |
| Note: | 1. The central part of this painting is nearly identical to the much smaller [Desert landscape with Indians and tepee I], which, being slightly simpler as well as less carefully drafted, may have been a preliminary study. 2. See the list of Indians in desert locales for several possibly related paintings. |
| Identification: | Assigned, descriptive title. |
| In index(es): | Title list, Indian encampments as primary subjects, Indians in desert locales |
