Hunter and Indian Guide is a 1869 unspecified by C. L. Woodhouse, a American Folk Art work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two men in a wooded landscape near a waterfall and river. One man stands tall in colorful traditional clothing, holding a bow and quiver of arrows. The other man sits on a log, wearing a hat and dark coat, with a rifle and a dog at his feet. In the background, a canoe rests on the shore, and deer lie on the ground. The standing man’s outfit suggests he might be from a Native American group, while the seated man looks like a settler or hunter. The scene mixes nature and human activity in a calm but detailed way.
