Graham | Shay 1857 acquires stunning 19th-century bronze
Now available at New York City’s Graham | Shay 1857 is a lifetime cast of John Quincy Adams Ward’s The Indian Hunter. The piece is one of the most famous works by the artist and precedes the monumental version which was placed in New York’s Central Park in 1869. The monument stands there still today. “A lithe, young Native American leans forward in a stealthy stride, eyes focused on his prey,” the gallery notes. “He restrains an eager, wolfish-looking dog with his right hand while grasping a bow and arrow in his left. In this model, Ward was responding to a larger call in the 1850s and 1860s for American subjects by American artists.”
