"A Game played by the natives of California, from 'Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde' 1822" is an evocative illustration by Ludwig (Louis) Choris, a renowned German-Russian painter and explorer. Choris, who was born in 1795 and died in 1828, is celebrated for his detailed and vivid depictions of indigenous peoples and their customs during his travels. This particular work is part of his larger collection, "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde" (Picturesque Voyage Around the World), published in 1822. The collection documents Choris's observations and experiences during his participation in the Russian expedition led by Otto von Kotzebue between 1815 and 1818.

The illustration captures a moment of leisure and cultural expression among the native Californians, providing a rare visual insight into their traditional games and social interactions during the early 19th century. Choris's work is notable for its ethnographic value, as it offers a glimpse into the daily lives and practices of indigenous communities before significant European influence and colonization altered their way of life.

Choris's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the vibrancy of the scene make this illustration a significant historical document. It not only serves as an artistic representation but also as an anthropological record, contributing to our understanding of the cultural heritage of native Californians. The broader collection, "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde," is esteemed for its comprehensive portrayal of various indigenous cultures encountered during the expedition, making it a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and art enthusiasts alike.
