Moose hunter
This mid-19th-century painting from the Québec City region depicts an Indigenous hunter in typical dress. Their traditional outfit features a wide variety of pieces of clothing. We see leather moccasins worn with breeches, a belt and a justaucorps made of European fabric. There are also hand-crafted metal accessories. What inventiveness!
