A Chetibo Family

George Catlin I, 1854/1869

The image presents a depiction of three individuals standing next to each other. The middle person has medium-length dark hair, a tall feathered headdress, distinctive facial features, painted chest designs, a waist covering, necklaces, bracelets, and an arm band. To the left, a young figure with dark hair and facial markings is wearing minimal clothing with painted chest designs and bracelets. On the right, another person with medium-length dark hair, feathered earrings, and an elaborately beaded top is wearing arm and ankle decorations, along with a patterned waist covering. The background shows a softly painted, abstract outdoor landscape with green foliage and a neutral sky, framed in muted tones.
