Robert Draper was equally adept at painting in miniature scale as in larger scale. This postcard size painting of a single hogan in the vast area of the Navajo Reservation was rendered in the fine detail that Draper executes in full-scale. The buttes, sky of billowing clouds, land with snow and rocks and the single hogan spewing smoke are amazingly detailed. Draper was a master artist who passed away much too soon. It is to our benefit that he left a legacy of extraordinary paintings to be enjoyed for decades by collectors.
