"Omaha Boy" is a notable artwork by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, who is renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of the American West and its Indigenous peoples during the early 19th century. This particular piece is part of a larger body of work that resulted from Bodmer's travels in North America from 1832 to 1834, accompanying German prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied. Their expedition aimed to study the natural history and the diverse cultures of Native American tribes.

Karl Bodmer's works, including "Omaha Boy," are highly valued for their ethnographic accuracy and artistic quality. They provide a visual account of the people and landscapes encountered by the expedition. "Omaha Boy" specifically captures the likeness of a young Native American boy from the Omaha tribe, which inhabited the Great Plains, particularly areas around the Missouri River. The artwork is celebrated for its detailed portrayal, which offers insight into the attire, physical appearance, and possibly the social status of the subject within his tribe.

Bodmer's technique, characterized by precise line work and attentive use of color, brings a sense of immediacy and life to his subjects, making "Omaha Boy" not only a work of art but also an important historical document. The piece is part of Bodmer's larger collection of watercolors, sketches, and prints that were later published in Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied's illustrated account of their journey, "Travels in the Interior of North America."

Today, "Omaha Boy" and other works by Karl Bodmer are held in high esteem by both art historians and scholars of Native American history. They are considered among the most important visual records of Native American life in the 19th century, prior to the significant changes brought about by westward expansion and settlement. The artwork is preserved and displayed in various museums and collections around the world, continuing to contribute to our understanding of the cultural and historical landscape of the American West.
