This landscape by A.B. Durand (also known as Asher Brown Durand), an artist associated with the Hudson River School movement, was completed in 1847. The painting looks down upon a dense forest, cliff, and, just beyond, the setting sun over water. At the edge of the cliff is a male American Indian with his arms raised facing the setting sun, prompting the title of the painting.
