"Indian Hunter" is a painting by Cornelius Krieghoff, a Dutch-Canadian artist known for his depictions of life in 19th-century Canada, particularly the landscapes and daily life of the people of Quebec. Krieghoff, born in Amsterdam in 1815, moved to North America and settled in Montreal around 1846, where he became renowned for his picturesque and often romanticized scenes of Canadian wilderness and the lives of First Nations peoples, habitants (French-Canadian farmers), and British soldiers.

The painting "Indian Hunter" is a testament to Krieghoff's interest in and portrayal of Native American subjects. It typically features an Indigenous hunter in a winter landscape, often accompanied by a dog or a team of dogs, and sometimes in the act of hunting or trapping. The hunter is usually depicted with a sense of nobility and self-reliance, set against the backdrop of the vast and untamed Canadian wilderness. Krieghoff's work in this genre is characterized by its fine detail, vibrant color palette, and the skillful rendering of light and atmosphere, which contribute to the overall sense of realism and immediacy in the scene.

While "Indian Hunter" is a theme that Krieghoff revisited multiple times in his career, producing several paintings with variations on this subject, it is also representative of the broader 19th-century artistic fascination with the "noble savage" trope and the romanticizing of Indigenous peoples. Krieghoff's paintings are significant for their historical value in documenting the cultural perceptions and imaginations of the time, as well as for their artistic merit.

Today, Krieghoff's works, including those titled "Indian Hunter," are considered important pieces of Canadian art history and are held in various public and private collections. They continue to be studied for their portrayal of Canadian identity, colonial perspectives, and the intersection of art and ethnography in the colonial era.
