Joseph Henry Sharp (September 27, 1859 – August 29, 1953) was an American painter and a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists. He painted American Indian portraits and cultural life, as well as Western landscapes. President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned him to paint the portraits of 200 Native American warriors who survived the Battle of the Little Bighorn. While working on this project, Sharp lived near Crow Agency, Montana, where he built Absarokee Hut in 1905. This log studio is now on display at the Buffalo Bill Museum at Cody, WY.
This wonderful painting has been held in a private family collection since the original owner purchased it from the artist.
