Painted by George Catlin, this oil on card mounted on paperboard masterpiece measures 45.7x60.9 cm and is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The image showcases three prominent figures from the Camanchee tribe, each exuding strength and pride. The chief stands tall with his wife by his side, while a warrior completes the trio. Dressed in traditional attire adorned with feathers and animal skins, they embody the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans. The painting also highlights an endearing detail - nestled within their arms lies a baby, symbolizing hope for future generations.
