Edwin Willard Deming (1860-1942) Untitled mounted Plains Indian warrior with lance, probably Teton Sioux, oil on canvas 28”x22,” signed lower left E. W. Deming, late 19th century. Deming’s first trip west was in 1887, when he visited the Apache and Pueblo Indians in the southwest, as well as the Umatillas in Oregon. In 1893 Deming and fellow artist DeCost Smith spent time among the Sioux and Crow Indians to write and illustrate about life among these people for Outing Magazine. Based on quillwork decoration on the leggins and moccasins, that trip was the likely genesis of this picture. SOLD
