Historic Paddle Art: Indian Canoe Race (Colour)

Came across a colourful image of some old-school standup paddling. This piece, entitled "Indian Canoe Race" was painted by William de la Montagne Cary (1840-1922).

The scene looked familiar. Earlier I posted about an engraving of a similar scene by the same artist featured in Harper's Weekly (1874)
