About this work
George Catlin described Walks in the Rain as a “warrior, with his pipe and tobacco-pouch in his hand.” The subject may be the same as Walking Rain (see 1985.66.518). Catlin probably painted this work at Fort Leavenworth (in today’s Kansas) in 1832. (Truettner, The Natural Man Observed, 1979)
