Plains warriors on horseback watch as one of their party sends a column of smoke into a pale sky from a fire on a high bluff. Remington painted it in 1905, when his colour was growing lighter and looser under the influence of the Impressionists. It is in the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth.
