Scouts at Waterhole

Additional Information

Delicate brushwork, an intricate composition that is more complex than it first seems and detailed Native American figures are just some of the magnificent qualities of Scout at Waterhole. At first glance, and to untrained eyes, the piece would almost look like a Charlie Russell painting, of which it bears many similarities. In fact, Russell and Seltzer were dear friends after meeting on Russell’s birthday in 1897—Russell was 33, and Seltzer was 19. The two artists would pal around Great Falls, travel up to Bull Head Lodge in northwestern Montana and trek through the wilderness to sketch and paint together. Today their works speak to rich art traditions that still thrive in Montana.
