Rare painting by a 19th century San Francisco Jewish artist, depicting a buffalo hunt on the prairie, with Indians on horseback spearing the lumbering beasts. David Saul Levy (1838-1922) is listed in the 1867 Great Register of the City of San Francisco as being a New Yorker employed as a barkeep on O'Farrell Street. Although little further information on his life can be found, his life as a "Sunday Painter" lives on in this remarkably vibrant image of a buffalo hunt. Levy was obviously a skilled artist both in form and composition.
