The Cheyenne Brothers Starting on Their Fall Hunt 1861 - 1869

"The Cheyenne Brothers Starting on Their Fall Hunt" is an oil painting by George Catlin, created between 1861 and 1869. The work depicts a group of Cheyenne people preparing for a hunting expedition. In the foreground, a family stands before a horse, while in the background, others pack supplies and prepare to leave. The painting is a quintessential example of Catlin's work, which focused on capturing the lives and cultures of Native American tribes of the Great Plains. The work was likely painted during Catlin's travels in the 1830s, when he lived among the Cheyenne people.
