"The Night Hawk" is a painting by Frank Tenney Johnson (1874–1939), an American painter who was renowned for his depictions of the Old West. Johnson, who was born in Iowa and later moved to Milwaukee, developed a distinct style that combined the realism of his Midwestern roots with the romance of the Western frontier. His nocturnal scenes, in particular, have garnered significant acclaim for their atmospheric portrayal of the American West.

Created in 1926, "The Night Hawk" is a prime example of Johnson's nighttime genre, showcasing his mastery of the "moonlight effect," a technique that captures the ethereal glow of the moon on the landscape and subjects. The painting features a cowboy on horseback, known colloquially as a "night hawk," who is responsible for watching over a herd of cattle during the night. The cowboy is often depicted in a solitary state, surrounded by the vastness of the open range under a starlit sky, which emphasizes the theme of isolation and the rugged individualism of the American cowboy.

Johnson's use of light and shadow, along with his detailed brushwork, creates a luminous quality that brings the scene to life. The subdued palette and the contrast between the dark silhouette of the cowboy and the horse against the softly illuminated sky are characteristic of Johnson's nocturnes. "The Night Hawk" not only captures the quietude of the night but also reflects the artist's deep appreciation for the Western landscape and its inhabitants.

"The Night Hawk" is considered an important work in Frank Tenney Johnson's oeuvre and is often highlighted in discussions of his artistic legacy. It is a significant contribution to the genre of Western art and continues to be celebrated for its technical skill and evocative portrayal of the American West during the early 20th century. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been featured in various exhibitions dedicated to Johnson's work and the art of the American West.
