French Explorer's Council with the Indians is a 1901 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a fire in the woods. They are dressed in clothing that suggests they are from different cultures. Some are wearing what looks like Native American headdresses and robes, while others are dressed in European-style clothing, including a man who appears to be a French explorer. The scene is set at night, and the only light comes from the fire, which casts shadows on the faces of the people gathered around it. The atmosphere seems tense, as if the people are discussing something important.
