View of Walpi, a Moqui (Hopi) pueblo or village building located along the northernmost point of the Gila River surveyed by the Boundary Commission. This view is taken from the southeast side of an adjacent pueblo village, Sichomovi. The Boundary Commission did not visit any Moqui villages, so this watercolor may have been copied by Bartlett from another artist or published source following his commission work. He may have painted this work to compliment his encyclopedia entry on the Moqui in 1866.
