This painting will be included in Virginia Couse Leavitt's forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work.

The present work features Pueblo Indian Juan Concha, who was chief of his village and a model of the artist. Virginia Couse Leavitt writes, "In 1907 The Turkey Hunter traveled with the American Art News Exhibition circulated by Knoedler Gallery. Its sale in New Orleans was mentioned in numerous publications, including the International Studio, New Orleans Picayune, and American Art News. The latter noted the growing national appeal of Couse's Indian pictures, reporting that this painting was always surrounded by a crowd wherever shown. The painting was of Juan Concha in a grove of aspen trees, a large bird strapped to his back following a successful hunt." (Eanger Irving Couse, The Life and Times of an American Artist, 1866-1936, Norman, Oklahoma, 2019, pp. 205-06.)
