Edward S. Curtis

Sepia-toned image of a grassy field with several cone-shaped tents. The tents have pointed tops with several long sticks extending upwards from the top. The tent on the right is decorated with a design of white dots and triangles. The tents are arranged in a semi-circle. A figure in a long, dark robe stands on the left. The sky above the tents is clear. The tents are made of animal hide. The ground is dry and barren. The image is bordered by a thick, off-white frame. Text at the bottom of the image reads "PAINTED LODGES-PIEGAN".
