(Native Attacking White Hunters)
1922

A grayscale painting divided into two panels by a white vertical line. The left panel shows a group of people in a dark, forested environment, with a woman in a white blouse and hat looking off into the distance, and a man in the foreground looking up, holding a spear. The right panel depicts an intense scene with armed individuals in combat, one person in the center brandishing a spear above their head, and another in the foreground aiming a rifle. The artwork conveys a sense of drama and tension.
