Caption

Friends Or Foes? (The Scout), 1902-05. A solitary Blackfoot Indian leans forward on his horse, gazing across a snowy landscape at the lights of a distant encampment. The figure’s pose, the horse’s breath, and the glimmering sky create an almost palpable stillness and tension, the rider has no way of knowing if he would be welcome at the camp.
