Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned image of a Native American man standing in a field. The man has long dark hair in two braids, one on each side of his head. He wears a white cloth wrapped around his body, covering one shoulder and leaving the other bare. The cloth wraps around his waist, ending above the knee. The man holds a long stick with both hands. A patterned cloth or bag hangs from his left hip. His right arm is bent across his body. At his feet is an animal skull. The background shows a blurry field with low vegetation and a flat horizon. The sky above appears hazy. Small text at the bottom reads "THE MEDICINE-MAN".
