lacrosse painting

[mikec55]

ok. Here's a real Lounge entry. Many, many years ago, I remember seeing a painting depicting a lacrosse game, in the 17 or 1800's, between an American Indian tribe and a group of Scotsmen in kilts. Unfortunately, I don't remember the artist's name or where I saw the painting. Was a long time ago.

Since I like anything early American history and my young grandson is a budding lacrosse star, and with Christmas right around the corner, I'd really like to buy him a copy of the painting, if possible, for a Christmas present.

I did a Bing search, found some other American Indian lacrosse possibilities, but not the specific painting I'm looking for.

Might this ring a bell with anyone? Or was this a figment of some artificially induced inducement from a misspent youth?

Thank you

Can't help you source one unfortunately, but now you mention it I seem to recall seeing something like that once, so I don't think you've imagined it.

Searches like yours always intrigue me Mike.
Needless to say, my attempt to find your specific item failed.
However, I did come across this site which has an engraving from the 19th century of a game between Canadians and Iroqois:-

Thank you, guys, for the help. I can still sorta picture the painting, but can't quite remember exactly where I saw it.

On the other hand, if I can find that Altores figure, I could have it ready by his birthday in August. (I'm a slow painter.)

Thanks again.

A little too much pigment in your imagination...?

Interesting that Lacrosse became the mainstay of English Girls' Public and Private schools!".

You are not imagining it. I've seen it on Pintrest. Just a minor case of finding it now...
