"Captain Murie’s Pawnees", painted in 1983 by American artist Tom Lovell (1909-1997), depicts a group of Pawnee Native American warriors on horseback, likely from the 19th century. Lovell, known for his Western art, captures the rugged beauty of the American landscape and the stoic expressions of the Pawnee warriors. This painting is a powerful reminder of the history and resilience of indigenous peoples in the American West.
