Indians Lamenting the Approach of the White Man (from McGuire Scrapbook)
Drawing of two people; one sitting and one kneeling. The sitting person wears a skirt and has a feathered headpiece. They hold an object to their face with their right hand. Their left arm rests on their left leg. They have a quiver on their back. The person kneeling in front of them wears a loincloth. They have their hands on the ground and one leg bent so their foot is flat on the ground. Their other knee is pointed out to the side. A bowl or basket sits on the ground beside them. A smoke-like line rises from behind the sitting person. The background is a plain color with some darker smudge marks. The drawing is on a beige background with slightly rounded corners.
