George Caleb Bingham
George Caleb Bingham was an American painter associated with genre scenes of frontier and river life, working chiefly in oil on canvas. His subjects often centre on the people and boats of the Missouri waterways, rendered with close attention to everyday detail. The archive's holdings are modest, comprising a single painting from the mid-1840s, with Fur Traders Descending the Missouri as its representative example. That canvas, dated to 1845, gives a focused glimpse of Bingham's mid-century work rather than a broad survey of his output.
