Taos Indian Holding a Water Jug (1911) by Blumenschein is a vintage American West fine art portrait painting. A New Mexico Native American Indian with a traditional headdress made of feathers holding a water jug. About the artist: Ernest Leonard Blumenschein (1874-1960) was an American artist. In 1897, during a Western trip he came to Taos, a territory of New Mexico. Struck by the sweeping landscapes and the diverse Native American, Spanish-American, and American cultures of the region, he determined then and there to work as a painter. He was a co-founder of the Taos Society of Artists and part of the Taos art colony which from 1898 was an important part of the life of Taos, New Mexico.
