Indian Hunter, Bronze sculpture in Central Park, US
The Indian Hunter statue depicts a Native American youth with a hunting dog standing beside him, measuring six feet three inches in height.
The bronze sculpture, cast at the L.A. Amouroux foundry in New York for ten thousand dollars, was unveiled in Central Park on February 4, 1869.
As the first sculpture by an American artist installed in Central Park, this work represents a shift toward recognizing domestic artistic talent in public spaces.
Located along Central Park's pathways, the sculpture stands on a polished Rockport granite base and receives regular maintenance from the Central Park Conservancy.
John Quincy Adams Ward created this sculpture after studying Native American life during his visit to the Dakota Territory in 1864.
