Portfolio XVI, Plate 571: At the Old Well of Acoma

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned image of two Native American women. The woman on the left sits on a rocky ledge, facing right, with long dark hair, a dark top, light-colored leggings or tights, and knee-high boots. The woman on the right stands at the edge of a body of water, bending down to touch one of four spherical objects on the ground. The rocky ledge extends into the body of water on the right. In the background, a large rocky cliff face rises on the left, and a hill or mountain is on the right. The sky above is cloudy. The image has a beige border. Text at the bottom reads "AT THE OLD WELL OF Acoma".
