War Chief by Howard Terpning

Among the Plains warriors, the war chief became a leader because of his proven success in battle, relates Howard Terpning. If his war party's returned to camp victorious, he would have an easier time recruiting warriors to participate in subsequent raids. These men were very brave and fierce which is the feeling that I tried to portray in this painting.

Miniature art is an important part of any collection and a SmallWork is a simple way to either start or add to your collection. Such works are often a collector's first purchase for the obvious reason, they are less expensive. As single works of art, they can be that final elegant touch in fine decor. At the other end of the spectrum, a wall of miniatures makes for an impressive display of a collector's unique range of style and interest.
