George Catlin II, 1854/1869

The image features four individuals standing in a row. The two adult males on the left hold spears. They have long black hair with feathers and wear grass skirts. The first male wears a shield and the second carries a bow and quiver. Beside the second male stands a woman with a bare torso wearing necklaces and bracelets. The woman also wears a short skirt and has decorated hair. A young child stands next to the woman, unclothed with short hair. The background shows a serene setting with clouds in blue tones and a green border.
