| George de Forest Brush was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1855. He received his art instruction at the National Academy of New York, and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Brush developed a highly realistic style, and on his return traveled to Wyoming where he lived and painted with the Arapahoe and Shoshone Indians. He also lived in Montana for several years, painting the Crow Indians. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Brush chose to stay away from the dramatized western scenes that were popular, instead choosing to depict his Native American subjects as they were in everyday life. When he returned to New York, Brush found work as a teacher at the Art Students League, and painted mother and child scenes which brought him commercial success.
