Indian Warrior

Alexander Phimister Proctor American
 Cast by Gorham Manufacturing Company American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 765

Proctor was among the preeminent chroniclers of the American West, known for his sculptural depictions of wildlife and Native peoples. While this bonneted warrior astride a sinewy steed was based on portrait studies of Blackfoot men he met in Montana in 1895, the group also recalls ancient equestrian sculptures, making it a composite of Indigenous and classicizing references.　Indian Warrior exemplifies one mode of Euro-American representation of Native peoples—a resolute warrior and noble successor to great ages past.
