About the piece

Painted in 1908, this oil on canvas by Frederic Remington depicts Indigenous figures using buffalo hides as camouflage while on horseback. The work exemplifies Remington's late-career style, moving toward Impressionistic light and color while maintaining his signature focus on the Old West and frontier life.
