"Guarding the Corn Fields" is a notable painting by Captain Seth Eastman, an American artist and military officer renowned for his detailed and ethnographically significant depictions of Native American life in the 19th century. Eastman, who served as a topographical engineer in the U.S. Army, was stationed at various frontier posts, including Fort Snelling in present-day Minnesota, where he developed a profound interest in the cultures and daily lives of the indigenous peoples he encountered.

Created during the mid-19th century, "Guarding the Corn Fields" exemplifies Eastman's commitment to documenting the customs and practices of Native American tribes with a high degree of accuracy and sensitivity. The painting portrays a scene of Native American women engaged in the vital task of protecting their corn fields from potential threats, such as animals or rival tribes. This activity was crucial for the survival and sustenance of their communities, as corn was a staple crop and a central element of their diet and culture.

Eastman's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and ethnographic precision, reflecting his dual roles as an artist and an observer. His paintings often serve as valuable historical records, providing insights into the daily lives, traditions, and environments of Native American tribes during a period of significant change and upheaval.

"Guarding the Corn Fields" is part of a larger body of work by Eastman that includes illustrations for Henry Rowe Schoolcraft's comprehensive study, "Historical and Statistical Information Respecting the History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States." Through his art, Eastman has contributed significantly to the visual documentation and understanding of Native American cultures, making his works important resources for historians, anthropologists, and art enthusiasts alike.
