Fünf Indianer der Iquito

George Catlin II, 1854/1869

The image shows five individuals standing closely together. In the center, a male figure stands with a tall feather headdress, facial paint, and necklaces. To his left, a shorter male figure stands, wearing a similar headdress and facial paint. The figure to his right is a young male child wearing a necklace and decorated bands. To the left of this group is a woman holding a paddle-like object. On the far right, a crouched young child is holding a bow with an arrow poised to shoot. The background is a soft blur of earthy and pastel shades.
