"Death of a Cougar" is a significant painting by the American artist Alfred Jacob Miller, who is renowned for his depictions of the American West during the mid-19th century. Created in 1850, this artwork exemplifies Miller's ability to capture the dramatic and often perilous life of the frontier. The painting portrays a climactic moment in a hunting scene, where a group of hunters confronts a cougar, a symbol of the untamed wilderness.

Miller's work is characterized by its vivid detail and dynamic composition, which brings to life the tension and excitement of the hunt. The painting is notable for its use of light and shadow, which enhances the sense of movement and urgency. The figures in the painting are rendered with meticulous attention to their expressions and postures, conveying the intensity of the encounter.

Alfred Jacob Miller was one of the few artists of his time to venture into the Rocky Mountains and document the lives of Native Americans, trappers, and explorers. His works provide a valuable historical record of a rapidly changing landscape and culture. "Death of a Cougar" is a testament to Miller's skill in storytelling through art, as well as his deep appreciation for the rugged beauty and inherent dangers of the American wilderness.

The painting is part of a larger body of work that Miller produced after his expedition to the Rocky Mountains in 1837, which was commissioned by the Scottish nobleman William Drummond Stewart. This journey profoundly influenced Miller's artistic career, providing him with a wealth of subjects and scenes that he would continue to explore throughout his life.

"Death of a Cougar" remains an important piece in the study of American art history, reflecting both the romanticism and realism that characterized the period. It continues to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance, offering viewers a glimpse into the adventurous spirit of the American frontier.
