About the piece
Painted in 1832, this vibrant oil on canvas by George Catlin documents 'The Last Race,' a culminating event of the Mandan O-kee-pa ceremony. The composition features a whirlwind of figures in the foreground, contrasted against the static, watchful presence of tribal members atop their earth lodges under an expansive prairie sky.
