EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait, titled "Antoine" and created by Alfred Jacob Miller around 1840, captures the enigmatic presence of Antoine Clement, a guide for Captain William Drummond Stewart during Stewart's expedition to the American fur-traders' rendezvous in the Green River Valley in the late 1830s. Antoine's mixed heritage is reflected in his appearance - the son of an Indian mother and a French-Canadian father, he is depicted here wearing a traditional buckskin tunic, adorned with intricate beadwork and fringes. His profile is strong and determined, with piercing eyes that seem to gaze intently into the distance. Antoine holds a rifle in his right hand, a common tool for the fur traders and essential for survival in the wilderness. The gun, along with the traditional hat and leather moccasins, underscores his role as a skilled hunter and guide. The oil on canvas painting, with its rich colors and fine details, offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who populated the American West during the 19th century. The portrait is a testament to the complexities of identity and heritage in a time and place where cultures collided and merged. Today, "Antoine" is a cherished addition to the Walters Art Museum's collection, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich history of the American West.
