Shoshone Indian and his Pet Horse, Alfred Jacob Miller, between 1858 and 1860

The scene is a normal day in an indian village, with the teepee thrown open to admit the fresh air while the indians in front are making bows, arrows, and so on. In the foreground, a warrior is petting his horse. Miller, perhaps in anticipation of the old cowboy-and-horse story, suggested that, if the indian had to choose between his horse and his bride, "we opine that the horse would be the first choice. ". Date: between 1858 and 1860. Place of creation: USA. Dimensions: height: 23 cm (9 in); width: 30.5 cm (12 in). Medium: watercolor on paper. Collection: Walters Art Museum.
