"Pehriska-ruhpa" is a renowned painting by the Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, created during his travels in North America in the early 19th century. Bodmer, who was born in Zurich in 1809, is best known for his detailed and ethnographically significant depictions of Native American life and landscapes. His journey to the United States was part of an expedition led by the German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied between 1832 and 1834. The expedition aimed to document the natural environment and the indigenous cultures of the American frontier.

The painting "Pehriska-ruhpa" portrays a member of the Hidatsa tribe, also known as the Minnetaree, who inhabited the region along the Missouri River in present-day North Dakota. Pehriska-ruhpa, whose name translates to "Two Ravens," was a prominent warrior and chief within his community. Bodmer's depiction is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, capturing the intricate patterns of Pehriska-ruhpa's traditional attire, which includes a feathered headdress, a richly decorated robe, and various ornaments that signify his status and achievements.

Bodmer's work is highly regarded for its ethnographic accuracy and artistic quality. His paintings and sketches provide a valuable visual record of Native American cultures during a period of significant change and upheaval. "Pehriska-ruhpa" stands out as a testament to Bodmer's skill in rendering the dignity and individuality of his subjects, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of the Hidatsa people.

The painting is part of a larger collection of works produced by Bodmer during the expedition, which were later published in the book "Travels in the Interior of North America" by Prince Maximilian. Today, Bodmer's works, including "Pehriska-ruhpa," are held in high esteem by historians, art enthusiasts, and scholars for their contribution to the understanding of Native American heritage and the early exploration of the American West.
