This powerful limited edition lithograph, "The Warning", by acclaimed Western artist Howard Terpning, vividly depicts a group of Blackfeet warriors delivering a traditional warning to outsiders-thrusting a lance into the ground, adorned with a medicine bundle. A dramatic and historically rich scene, this print reflects Terpning's signature mastery of narrative, realism, and emotional intensity.

This is print #558 of an edition of 1,650, hand-signed by the artist and published in 1985 through The Greenwich Workshop. It includes the original certificate of authenticity, adding to its provenance and collector value.

What truly sets this piece apart is its extraordinary presentation. The museum-quality matting features meticulously layered earth tones and custom-cut corner insets, paired with a warm wood frame. Most striking of all, the framing includes a genuine eagle feather and Native American beads delicately integrated into the mat-making this a rare, gallery-grade showpiece.

Howard Terpning is one of the most acclaimed painters of Native American history, often referred to as the 'Storyteller of the Native American.' His limited editions, published through The Greenwich Workshop, are collected globally and retain strong secondary market value, usually selling the multi thousands.
