These sketchy strokes, many of which are not part of the final design, give a somewhat unfinished, rough vitality to the work. |

Certainly, both project an image of an idyllic land, an arcadia, that expresses the ideals of Jeffersonian America and speaks eloquently of the promise of the young Republic. |

After traveling in Europe and North Africa in the early 1870s, Gifford's style became considerably looser, less detailed, and more painterly.
