Product Details:

Peace Conference by William Gilbert Gaul portrays a tense and reflective moment of negotiation between Native American leaders and U.S. representatives on the open plains. The foreground features a circle of Native men seated in discussion, their mix of traditional and Western clothing symbolizing cultural intersection and adaptation. One man stands holding a rifle, emphasizing both caution and dignity. In the background, tipis, horses, and scattered figures suggest a larger encampment, grounding the scene in everyday life. Gaul captures the gravity of the encounter with earthy tones and detailed brushwork, conveying the complexity of diplomacy during a time of deep cultural conflict and change.
