This picture is one of several versions of a subject the artist associated with his first discovery of the American West. On his journey to join Hayden's survey expedition in 1871, the artist passed through the small town of Green River and made a drawing of the cliffs. A later visit in 1879 produced further sketches, which resulted in a series of Green River paintings, including at least two others of the same size as this.
