About
19th century painting of Native Americans, painted likely ca. 1840-1860s, in the spirit of George Catlin.
This rare painting is very finely painted and given the detailed rendering of the people and landscape appears to have been painted by an artist who witnessed these sceneries in reality. The present work depicts a moon ceremony, with Native Americans dancing around a fire underneath a full moon. The moonlight beautifully illuminates the mountains in the distance, while, hidden in the shadows in the foreground, one can again see wigwams.
The present work is quite reminiscent of the works by George Catlin and have been created, by a fellow artist (perhaps a visiting artist from Europe), in the same period that he was active.
Provenance:
Christie's London, 29 April 1977, lot 248 (erroneously described as aboriginals - this culture did not develop bow and arrow)
Private collection USA
Oil on canvas measures ca 31*36cms without frame and ca. 45 by 51cms with frame.
