Frank Tenney Johnson begann seine Karriere als Illustrator für das Field and Stream Magazine im Jahr 1904. Johnson lebte von 1904 bis 1920 in New York City, reiste aber immer wieder in den großen amerikanischen Westen, um Material für seine Studioarbeit zu sammeln.





Johnsons Reise mit Charles Russell in das Schwarzfuß-Reservat in Montana im Jahr 1912 war ein entscheidender Moment für den Künstler; nach dieser Reise ließ er sich für viele Jahre in Colorado nieder. Nach einer kurzen Rückkehr nach Kalifornien verbrachte der Künstler viele Jahre in seinem neuen Atelier in Cody, Wyoming.





Werke aus dieser Zeit brachten Johnson die Titel "Meister der amerikanischen Mondscheinmalerei" und "Meistermaler des Alten Westens" ein. Das Gemälde "Scouting" zeigt eine idyllische Eingeborenenszene; Johnsons Studien aus erster Hand und seine Erfahrungen mit den Ureinwohnern waren ein wiederkehrendes Thema in seinem Werk.
