EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Shooting a Cougar" takes us back to the untamed landscapes of the American Wild West. Painted by Alfred Jacob Miller in watercolor and gouache on paper, this artwork measures 27.9x23.2 cm and is housed at the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The scene depicted showcases a Native American Indian rider bravely defending himself against an imminent attack from a formidable cougar. The vast American landscape serves as their backdrop, with its rugged beauty adding to the intensity of the moment captured. Intriguingly, this artwork not only highlights themes of self-defense and survival but also provides insights into hunting practices during that era. The hunter's gun symbolizes both protection and skillful prowess in navigating these dangerous encounters with big cats. Mounted on his loyal horse, our protagonist epitomizes courage and resilience as he confronts nature's apex predator head-on. This image evokes feelings of admiration for those who dared to venture into uncharted territories where man and beast coexisted. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from America's past, it reminds us of our rich heritage rooted in exploration and conquest over wild frontiers.
