About the Item

Brush was a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris and became a member of the National Academy of Design, New York, and of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. From 1883 onward he attracted much attention by his paintings of North American Indians (Britannica 2023). For Brush, the figure of the Indian became a metaphor through which he could address his concern that a nation racing toward modernism was losing its regard for art born of craft and tradition. The artist’s technically exquisite and contextually rich Indian paintings have been brought together for many exhibitions! (NGA 2023). This painting is a great example of Brush's mastery of portraiture. This comes with frame and is a great painting from around the 1890s.
