This 1993–1994 painting depicts an American Indian hunting deer with a bow and arrow. The hunter stands on a rock in a stream facing a buck and a doe. He is camouflaged, wearing a deer head and skin over his own head and torso. In the background, the names of several Indian groups are painted on what appears to be the coastline of New England. The painting hangs in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.
