In the 1890s in particular, Russell gave free expression to his fondness for domestic scenes from Indian life. The Brave’s Return records a tender moment as two women gaze up from their chores to find their warrior-husband returning safely from a raiding expedition or a hunting trip. There is no indication of what he has accomplished—no stolen horses, no scalps dangling from his belt, no fresh-killed game, just a tired man about to dismount from an equally tired horse. Through Russell’s eyes we see the plains Indian in his family setting, a fully rounded individual; the wife’s shy reaction in drawing her blanket around her bespeaks her affection and possibly the length of his absence. The returned warrior will receive a properly respectful reception. His wives will gladly abandon the task of scraping the buffalo hide in order to accommodate his wishes and make his homecoming a celebration.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Expect subtle, hand-made variation rather than factory uniformity. Each fine art canvas is painted with oils, allowed to cure properly, and inspected before it is approved for shipment.
Wondering where fine art oil painting looks best? Try a bedroom mantel, a dining room sideboard, or a hallway gallery wall. The fine art subject reads clearly from a distance and rewards close viewing up near.
