Product Details:

Custer’s Last Stand by Gayle Porter Hoskins is a dynamic and visceral depiction of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, painted in 1928. The scene captures the climactic moment of the conflict, as waves of Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors descend upon Lieutenant Colonel George Custer’s embattled 7th Cavalry. Hoskins' composition emphasizes the overwhelming force and energy of the Native resistance, with warriors advancing from all directions against a smoke-filled backdrop of fallen soldiers and fluttering U.S. flags. The foreground is alive with motion—painted with intense realism and rich color—showcasing defiant war cries, raised rifles, and a cacophony of action, symbolizing Indigenous victory and the chaos of Custer’s final moments.
