Visual DescriptionTwo Seminole structures in a clearing surrounded by pine trees.
Two fishermen steer their skiffs through the river. A third figure, a woman, stands in a boat near a “chickee,” a Seminole structure composed of a palmetto thatch over a cypress log frame. Sparse trees line the river under a sky filled with large white clouds..
