“This man shot the buffalo/ and other man he is shot/ the deer the other deer see the man so head's up but the/ other deer did not see the man/ so head's down and eating some grass./ Chas. Willis” (Artist’s inscription, verso)
“Two different hunting scenes are depicted in this drawing.
The lower pictures a buffalo hunt similar to the ones in Nº26 and Nº32. The hunter has succeeded in wounding one animal and is moving in for the kill. In the upper scene, a hunter, lying on the ground with his rifle steadied by a guide, has succeeded in wounding one deer while the other looks up startled. The two scenes are obviously separate events.” (p.47)
