The Indian Bear Hunter is a 1911 gouache by Henry Farny, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a person in winter clothes standing in a snowy forest. They’re holding a rifle, looking focused, with a bear nearby on the right side. The trees are tall and covered in snow, and the light looks like it’s coming from the setting sun. The person’s red scarf stands out against the white snow. The bear seems calm, almost curious, as it moves through the trees. If you like this scene, check out more by Farny, Henry.
