"Hunting Buffalo on Snow-Shoes" is a painting by George Catlin, an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Created in the 19th century, this artwork captures a dynamic scene of Native American hunters pursuing American bison, commonly known as buffalo, on snowshoes during the winter months.

The painting is notable for its depiction of the traditional hunting methods used by indigenous peoples of the North American plains. Catlin's work is characterized by his attention to detail and his desire to record the customs and way of life of the Native American tribes before he believed they would be altered by the westward expansion of European settlers.

George Catlin (1796–1872) was among the earliest artists of European descent to travel extensively among the Native American peoples of the North American continent, documenting their cultures and traditions through his art. He aimed to produce a comprehensive study of the Native Americans, which he felt was an urgent task given the impact of colonization.

"Hunting Buffalo on Snow-Shoes" reflects Catlin's commitment to capturing the essence of Native American life, as well as his skills as an artist in portraying the harsh yet majestic winter landscape of the plains. The painting is part of Catlin's larger body of work, which includes hundreds of portraits and scenes that provide valuable insights into the lives of various indigenous tribes during the early to mid-19th century.

As with many of Catlin's paintings, "Hunting Buffalo on Snow-Shoes" is not only an artistic endeavor but also an ethnographic record. It is a testament to the artist's dedication to preserving a way of life he believed to be endangered. Today, Catlin's paintings are considered important historical documents as well as significant contributions to American art. They can be found in various museum collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which houses the majority of his works.
