About the piece

Painted in 1839 by Alfred Jacob Miller, this oil on canvas captures the rugged energy of the American West. The composition features hunters on horseback engaging with a massive bison in the foreground, set against a vast plain framed by distant peaks and a luminist sky. Miller's work is celebrated for its firsthand documentation of the frontier, rendered here with a romantic and adventurous spirit.
