About this work

A Native American man in a thick coat rides a horse across snowy hills. The horse’s breath rises in the cold air. The man holds a rifle, ready for the trail home. This was made in 1898 by Edward S. Curtis. He spent years photographing Native tribes to preserve their ways before they disappeared. Check out his other work at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
