"Lederzelt Eines Assiniboin Chefs" (English: "Leather Tent of an Assiniboine Chief") is a 19th-century watercolor painting by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, who is renowned for his detailed and sensitive depictions of Native American life, landscapes, and culture during his travels in North America. Created during the years 1832-1834, this artwork is part of a larger body of work that resulted from Bodmer's journey alongside German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied.

The painting is a visual record of the Assiniboine people, a Native American tribe from the Northern Plains, specifically focusing on the dwelling of a tribal chief. Bodmer's work is characterized by its ethnographic accuracy and artistic finesse, capturing the intricate designs and construction of the leather tent, which was a central aspect of the nomadic lifestyle of the Plains tribes. The attention to detail in the depiction of the tent and its surroundings provides valuable insights into the material culture and living conditions of the Assiniboine at the time.

Karl Bodmer's illustrations gained prominence for their contribution to the understanding of the indigenous peoples of the Upper Missouri River. "Lederzelt Eines Assiniboin Chefs" is considered an important historical document as well as a work of art, reflecting the intersection of European artistic traditions with the documentation of indigenous cultures during a period of significant change and upheaval.

The painting is part of the collection that illustrates Prince Maximilian's travels, which were published in the book "Travels in the Interior of North America" during the 1830s. Bodmer's images, including "Lederzelt Eines Assiniboin Chefs," have been widely reproduced and studied, and they continue to be exhibited in museums and galleries, offering a poignant visual account of the American frontier before the impact of westward expansion.
