Indian Girls, Swinging, Alfred Jacob Miller, between 1858 and 1860

This "single incident that arrested the artist's eye" proved to be a popular picture that, perhaps as much as any other image, seemed to show the indians to be a carefree, romantic lot. Miller later permitted it to be copied as a chromolithograph for c. W. Webber's book entitled "the hunter-naturalist: wild scenes and song-birds" (1854). As might be anticipated, later editions of the work had the girl fully clothed, despite miller's note that "she had in truth, almost 'nothing to wear. '". Date: between 1858 and 1860. Place of creation: USA. Dimensions: height: 37.8 cm (14.8 in); width: 21.6 cm (8.5 in). Medium: watercolor heightened with white on paper. Collection: Walters Art Museum.
