"Indian Women by a Stream" is a painting by Ralph Albert Blakelock (1847–1919), an American artist known for his poetic and moody interpretations of the American landscape. This work is characteristic of Blakelock's style, which often included scenes of Native American life set in twilight or nocturnal settings. The painting depicts Native American women gathered by a stream, a subject that reflects Blakelock's fascination with the indigenous peoples of the United States and his romantic vision of their harmonious existence with nature.

Created during the late 19th century, a period marked by the westward expansion of the United States and the consequent displacement of Native American tribes, Blakelock's work can be seen as both a celebration of the perceived idyllic life of Native Americans and a nostalgic lament for a way of life that was being lost. "Indian Women by a Stream" is imbued with the tonalism that Blakelock is known for, using a limited color palette to create a sense of mood and atmosphere. The painting's precise date of creation is not well-documented, which is common for many of Blakelock's works due to his sporadic record-keeping and the later controversies surrounding authentication of his paintings.

Blakelock's technique involved building up layers of paint to achieve a rich, luminous quality, and he often experimented with unconventional materials and methods to enhance the textural effects on his canvases. "Indian Women by a Stream" exemplifies this approach, with its detailed rendering of foliage and water, set against a backdrop of a dusky or twilight sky.

The painting is part of Blakelock's broader legacy as a self-taught artist who gained recognition for his unique vision, despite struggling with financial hardship and mental illness throughout his life. Today, "Indian Women by a Stream" is considered an important work within Blakelock's oeuvre, contributing to the understanding of his artistic contributions and the cultural context of his time. The painting is held in private collections or museums, and it continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place in the history of American art.
