By Donna Poulton

George Catlin (1796-1872) was among the first artists to paint the Plains Indians.  He travelled WITH General William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame) for two years among the Iowa, Sioux and other tribes.  Later he painted the Blackfoot and Crow on the upper Missouri River.  He took over 600 of his paintings on exhibition throughout Europe to great acclaim. His study Buffalo Chase, A Surround by the Hidatsa will be selling at Sotheby’s Auction for between $800,000 and $1,200,000 dollars on December 1st.
