Sign of the Buffalo Scout

This is Sign of the Buffalo Scout, painted in 1907 by Frederic Remington. Bathed in golden light, the scene depicts a Native scout on horseback pausing beside a pile of buffalo skulls, a haunting reminder of the herds that once roamed the plains. With one hand holding the reins and the other resting on his rifle, the scout surveys the horizon, embodying both resilience and loss amid a vanishing way of life.
