"Buffalo Hunt under the Wolf-skin Mask" is a notable painting by George Catlin, an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Created in 1846, this work is part of Catlin's extensive portfolio of paintings that document the life and culture of indigenous peoples of the Americas, particularly the Plains tribes, whom he observed during several trips in the 1830s.

The painting depicts a Native American hunter disguised under a wolf-skin mask as part of a traditional hunting technique used to approach American bison, or buffalo, without alarming the herd. The hunter, shown in the foreground, is wearing the skin and head of a wolf, which allows him to blend in with the wildlife on the plains and get close enough to the bison to use his bow and arrow effectively.

Catlin's work is significant for its ethnographic accuracy and its role in preserving a visual record of Native American customs and ways of life that were rapidly changing and disappearing due to westward expansion and the policies of the United States government in the 19th century. "Buffalo Hunt under the Wolf-skin Mask" is particularly valued for its portrayal of a hunting practice that was both ingenious and emblematic of the deep understanding and respect that Native Americans had for the natural world.

This painting, like many others by Catlin, serves as a historical document, providing insight into the practices and experiences of the Native American tribes before significant disruption by European settlers. It is a testament to Catlin's dedication to capturing the essence of Native American culture and the symbiotic relationship between the people and the bison, an animal that was central to their survival and spirituality.

"Buffalo Hunt under the Wolf-skin Mask" is part of the larger collection of Catlin's work that was toured around the United States and Europe, known as the "Indian Gallery." The painting is preserved and can be viewed in a public collection, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of Native American societies.
