About this work

A painted prehistoric scene shows a group of bipedal and quadrupedal dinosaurs moving along a sandy shore beside a wide river, with autumn-toned trees and distant mountains behind them. In the foreground, large marine reptiles with long necks and jaws swim and emerge from the water, while a flying reptile perches on a rocky cliff at the right. This Cretaceous Life of New Jersey painting by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, dated 1877, is held by the Princeton University Art Museum.
