Indian Chief

Harold A. Doughty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a man standing with a stoic pose. He is dressed in an outfit that includes a long shirt with a decorative sash and a feathered headdress. The colors used on the sculpture include earthy tones of browns, beiges, and highlights of red and blue on the headdress. The material of the sculpture appears to be painted wood or a similar medium, giving it a carved and rustic appearance. The sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base displaying text such as "1430" and "McWOODMANSEE". The sculpture stands upright and is similar in proportion to a human figure.
