ABOUT THIS PAINTING This painting depicts the Yosemite Valley as seen from a little known place called 'Artist's Point', named in tribute to the many 19th century artists who favored it as a sketching ground. The National Park System selected this work as their official print in 1989 out of 2,700 other entries. This work was also displayed on a $10 commemorative stamp issued by the United States Post Office and a gold medallion.
