Notes

Peter Rindisbacher 1806-1834 was a Swiss-born artist best known for his early depictions of Indigenous life and fur trade culture in the early 19th-century Canadian and American frontiers. Emigrating with his family to the Red River Colony in 1821 as part of a Swiss settler group, he began documenting the daily life of Cree, Chippewa, Assiniboine, and Métis communities through watercolour paintings. Despite minimal formal training, Rindisbacher's work was marked by keen observation and technical skill, making his images valuable both artistically and historically. Following years of hardship in the colony, he moved to Wisconsin and later to St. Louis, where he continued painting and gained growing recognition before his death at age 28.

A biography of Peter Rindisbacher published by the Amon Carter Museum, perhaps as a companion to an exhibition of Rindisbacher's work presented by the museum.
