About the piece
Painted by George Catlin in 1861, this work captures a group of Indigenous riders setting out across the endless horizon of the American prairie. The composition emphasizes the vastness of the wilderness, with the equestrian figures grounding the scene against a luminous, textured sky characteristic of Catlin's observational style.
