There is little information available on this work. Sharp loved doing nocturns with interior lighted teepees featured. This is an especially attractive tour de force with the teepees reflected in the river as well. Sharp exhibited a painting in Cincinnati in 1916 titled Teepees at Night. It could be this work.
