circa 1916
Oil on canvas
30 x 36 in
Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona.
One of the Taos Society of Artists founders and first president, Eanger Irving Couse was able to capture romantic and even mystical qualities of his subjects and their surroundings, while painting with a French educated sense of anatomy and gesture and a heightened interest in the details and individualism of his subjects.
In Watching, Couse presents a Navajo hunter in full feather headdress as he intently watches a flock of birds coming in to land on a pond. The figure clutches a bow and arrows in his left hand while he casually drapes his right hand over a tree branch, leaning forward to get a better look at the fowl, and perhaps to camouflage himself from their view. The painting's color palette is dominated by the golden orange-brown leaves on the tree surrounding the figure and blanketing the ground beneath his feet. The boulders along the shore and the stands of trees across the pond match this singular color palette but in a muted way that creates the effect of atmosphere and distance. Even the figure himself is painted in a golden-brown skin tone, with red and brown highlights punctuating his clothing and the headdress feathers. Depictions of Native American hunters in an autumnal forest is a motif Couse returned to multiple times in addition to the present work including in Indian Hunter (1902) and Mountain Hunter (1905).
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of refined oil painting wall decor.
