EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print showcases the fierce and noble Pehriska-Ruhpa, a Hidatsa warrior from 1833-34. Created by the talented Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, this artwork was commissioned by Prince Alexander Philipp Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied, a German explorer and ethnologist who sought to document his travels in the Plains and Rocky Mountain regions of America. Pehriska-Ruhpa, also known as Two Ravens, stands proudly in his deer skin attire adorned with intricate details. Holding a ceremonial pipe that symbolizes peace and spirituality within his tribe, he exudes strength and bravery. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of Pehriska-Ruhpa's expression - determination shines through his eyes while wisdom lines his face. This portrait not only captures the essence of an individual but also serves as a window into Native American culture during this pivotal time in history. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of the Hidatsa people, often referred to as "People of the Willows" who resided along the Missouri River in what is now North Dakota. Bodmer's artistic talent combined with Prince Maximilian's passion for exploration has gifted us with an invaluable piece of historical documentation. This print transports us back to a time when discovery and travel were paramount; it allows us to appreciate both the beauty of artistry and cultural preservation.
