Marahua Indians

George Catlin II, 1854/1869

The image shows multiple individuals in an outdoor setting. Two seated men at the center have long dark hair, with one wearing a feathered headpiece. They have facial markings or tattoos, wear loincloths, and beaded necklaces. A woman and a child stand to the left, with two other figures, including a child, in a canoe in water in the background. The scene is by water with grassy land under an open sky.
