About the piece
Painted in 1858 by John Mix Stanley, this detailed work captures a moment of rest and tallying the hunt within a rustic cabin. The composition features three figures, a loyal hunting dog, and a harvested deer, all rendered with rich textures and the moody, atmospheric lighting characteristic of mid-century frontier genre painting.
