Sketch made on Indian Reservation c. 19th century

Walter Shirlaw's "Sketch made on Indian Reservation" (c. 19th century) is a pencil drawing depicting a scene of Native American life. The drawing shows a covered wagon pulled by two horses, likely on a journey. The artist, known for his academic realism, captures the rugged landscape and the stoic presence of the horses. The work offers a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans in the 19th century, a period marked by significant change and challenges. The drawing is currently held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
