"The Last World of Robert Moses" depicts a figure seated on a rocky promontory with a pack behind them. Staring out over the rocky and forested landscape at the rising (or setting sun); the smoke of a small campfire on the ledge beside him (her) rises to the sky and mixes with the tinted clouds. A spirit figure in the lower left seems to watch the figure, butterfly in tree lower right.
