Label verso from Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, Maryland. In fine gilt matched-corner cove frame, under mat and glass. Per Wiki: "Sir William Drummond Stewart, 7th Baronet (1795-1871) was a Scottish adventurer and British military officer. He traveled extensively in the American West for nearly seven years in the 1830s. In 1837 he took along the American artist, Alfred Jacob Miller, hiring him to do sketches of the trip. Many of his completed oil paintings of American Indian life and the Rocky Mountains originally hung in Murthly Castle in Scotland, though they have now been dispersed to a number of private and public collections".
