Rockwell Kent was an adventurer as well as a transcendentalist and mystic in the tradition of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He traveled to many wildernesses, finding inspiration in their stark beauty and austerity. This drawing depicts a seaside garden in Tierra del Fuego, at the tip of South America, where Kent stayed in 1922 and 1923. The drawing was used as an illustration for the book Voyaging written and illustrated by the artist (Putnam & Sons, 1924).
