An Apache scout
1905
Frederic Remington captures the rugged spirit of the American West in this lively 1905 illustration, originally created for Collier's magazine. Perched confidently on a paint horse, the Apache scout raises a hand in greeting, dressed in vibrant earth tones that pop against the sparse background. Remington was famous for romanticizing the Old West, and this energetic sketch freezes a moment of frontier life just as the era was fading into history.
