EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. In this intense scene, an American warrior is depicted striking down a US cavalry trooper with great force and determination. The artist, from the American School of the 19th century, skillfully portrays this dramatic encounter using ink and watercolor on paper. The artwork itself is based on a detail from a Sioux pictograph, adding to its historical significance. It showcases the fierce resistance put up by Native American tribes during the American Indian Wars. The warrior's mounted position on horseback adds to their advantage as they impale their enemy with a spear. The image not only highlights the brutality of combat but also emphasizes the deep cultural divide between Native Americans and settlers during that time period. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by indigenous peoples against encroachment on their lands. This powerful piece is part of a private collection and has been preserved for generations to come thanks to Peter Newark Western Americana. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical context.
