Edgar Samuel Paxson • 1912
Medium Oil on canvas (detail from mural)

Scene Depicted Three Forks, Montana

Detail from Paxson’s monumental mural “Lewis and Clark at Three Forks,” showing Sacagawea pointing as she recognizes her homeland near the Three Forks of the Missouri. No likeness of Sacagawea was made during her lifetime; this is an artist’s interpretation that has become one of the most widely recognized images of her.
