Indian Hunter
Sculptor: John Quincy Adams Ward (1830-1910)
Date: 1866
Placed in Park: 1869
Donor: 23 American artists and art patrons
Material: Bronze with granite pedestal
Indian Hunter was the first sculpture in Central Park by an American artist. Having studied the Lakota tribe, Ward was interested in developing American subjects. This sculpture of a hunter, his bow and arrow in hand, restraining his faithful hunting dog, shows Ward's sensitive commitment to realism and anatomy.
