Indian War Party 1903

"Indian War Party" (1903) by Charles M. Russell portrays a group of Native American warriors on horseback surveying a vast, arid landscape. Russell, renowned for his depictions of the American West, captures the dramatic tension and stoic determination of the figures against the sprawling backdrop. The painting exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the spirit and culture of Native Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The work offers a glimpse into the historical realities and challenges faced by indigenous peoples in the American West.
