Notes
English: Technique detail: Oil on canvas mounted on canvas. Description: Shortly after the discovery of gold along the American River near Sacramento in 1848, Charles Nahl left his native Germany and headed to California to seek his fortune. This scene, painted with his partner, August Wenderoth, who provided the background landscape, is the first-known oil of an early gold camp. In Miners in the Sierras, four miners are hard at work along either side of the long tom, a wooden apparatus used to wash the gold from rocks and sand. The vigorous labors of the two men in their red, white, and blue shirts are depicted with the skill we would expect of artists who had European academic training.
