A statue that depicts a felled Native American pulling an arrow from his torso is being returned to the Boston-area organization cofounded by Paul Revere that thought it had been destroyed decades ago.
This May 31, 2023 photo provided by Cultural Heritage Partners, PLLC, shows the statue"Wounded Indian" sculpted in 1850 by Peter Stephenson and modeled on the ancient Roman statue"Dying Gaul," in a gallery at the Chrysler Museum of Art, in Norfolk, Va.
But the dispute was not resolved until Aug. 9, when the Chrysler's trustees agreed to return the statue. The statue dates to the end of the Removal Era, when Native tribes were being pushed west to make way for white settlers. Art of the era reflects nostalgia and myth about growth that came at the expense of suffering by Indigenous people.
The Chrysler Museum got the piece from a now-deceased collector named James Ricau, who had a reputation in the art world for not being able to document how he obtained some of his objects, Werkheiser said. “The Chrysler is pleased with the amicable resolution, and we wish the best for the MCMA,” Chrysler Museum Director Erik H. Neil said in a statement.
