Might add that these watercolors were done in 1848 by Seth Eastman -- or rather, after his 1848 sketches. I would always trust the sketches more than a later painting. In those days, artists would sketch the scene before them in the field and later, in their studio, do a painting from the sketch. With Theodore Gentilz, the difference in detail between his sketches and paintings is incredible. Eastman was more *scientific* with his paintings, and they better represent his sketches. Gentilz took a lot of artistic license in his redo.
Thanks alamo54toysareus.

In this Eastman painting, I like that he chose to show the flooded acequia. Makes it easy to see how the guy thought to be Dickinson -- and other breakouts -- would have jumped off the apse wall and used the muddy bottom to break their fall. |
