Description:

|
Miller’s many paintings of American Indians were based on sketches that he made during an 1837 trip to the Rocky Mountains with the Scottish hunter William Drummond Stewart. Buffalo Hunt with Lances is almost identical to an earlier picture that the artist painted for Stewart’s castle in the Scottish Highlands. Such scenes offered Miller’s patrons (who were mostly Baltimore businessmen) a fantasy of masculine adventure pursued outside the restrictive bounds of civilization.
