We did an analysis on the form of the painting, including the creation of depth and dimension through the usages of an elevated platform of scaled subjects. We also discussed the usage of colors and the blending used in the landscape of the painting. We spoke of the subject matter and how it was meant to depict potential good relations between Native Americans and colonists and comparing it to potential good relations among wild animals. The painting also juxtaposes the animals and the environment to create a shock value and attraction to the piece. What we lacked to talk about is historical context, we assumed it was a colonial era painting but did not investigate nor did we speak in depth about it.
