I Will Tell the White Man is a 1900 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a group of Native Americans gathered in a circle, with one man standing in the center. He's wearing a loincloth and a feathered headdress, and he's holding a spear. The others are seated on the ground, some with blankets wrapped around them, and they're all looking at the standing man. The scene is set in a darkened space, possibly a tent or a cave, with a fire burning in the center of the circle. The light from the fire casts shadows on the faces of the men, adding to the dramatic effect of the scene. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The artist, Frederic Remington, was known for his depictions of the American West and its people. To learn more about his work, look up the artist Frederic Remington.
