Botocudo Chief, His Wife, and a Young Man

George Catlin II, 1854/1869

The image shows three individuals in full body. On the left, a person stands holding a paddle and a basket. They have long dark hair and wear a red garment with red leg coverings. In the center, another person stands with a spear, draped in an orange-red textile. They have dark hair and wear large circular earrings. On the right, a person stands holding a stick-like object, wearing a shorter garment with red accents and dark hair. The background is softly painted in light blues and beiges, suggesting an outdoor setting.
