About the piece

Painted in 1861 by renowned American artist George Catlin, this work captures a spirited pursuit between two riders across an open prairie. Known for his prolific documentation of Indigenous North American life, Catlin employs a muted palette of earthy greens and soft greys to convey the atmospheric scale of the frontier landscape.
