Three Auca Children

George Catlin II, 1854/1869

The image displays three individuals standing together. The two on the left face forward, while the one on the right is turned slightly to the side. Each has distinct facial features with dark, medium-length hair decorated with feathers. They have neutral expressions and stand in a relaxed posture. Their lower bodies are minimally clothed, and they wear various ornaments like necklaces. The person on the far left is crossing their arms, the middle one holds a bow and arrow, and the person on the right leans on a decorated spear. The background is a simple, green landscape with soft skies.
