This oil painting by Thomas Moran is of the Three Tetons, which are located in Wyoming. The foreground of the painting is full of dark greens and blues depicting evergreen trees and a quiet lake, while the brightly lit Tetons hover above in the upper half of the canvas. The area was established as Grand Teton National Park in 1929. Although born in Britain, Moran is considered an important American artist for his paintings of the western wilderness, especially Yosemite Valley. Three of Moran's western landscapes are in the White House Collection.
