The Indian Bear Hunter

Henry Farny

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person crouched beside a large, snow-covered rock in a forest. The person has a serious expression and distinct features, including high cheekbones, a straight nose, and long dark hair tied with red ribbons. They are wearing a fur hat, a long brown coat, and holding a rifle. Rings or hoop earrings are visible on their ears. The environment is snowy, with tall, bare trees, and a bear walking in the snow to the right. The sky has a warm, yellow-orange hue.
