Note:
The artist of this work is said to be George H. Hughes (active 1861-1878) who lived in Montreal and studied under Krieghoff. He was fascinated by Krieghoff’s pairs of little paintings, one showing an Indian hunter on the trail, its companion showing a woman with moccasins in hand and a blanket over her head.
