Gall - Sitting Bull - Crazy Horse, 1876

Imagine what Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Gall might have looked like had they ridden to an artist’s studio and posed for a portrait immediately after the June 25, 1876, Battle of the Little Bighorn. Far-fetched, of course, but that was John Coleman’s idea behind 1876, in which Sitting Bull sits at center, with headdress and pipe, flanked by Crazy Horse on his left, holding a repeating rifle, and Gall on his right, gripping a tomahawk.
