Indian Head

Elmer R. Kottcamp

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust featuring the head and shoulders of a figure with a direct gaze. The facial features include a broad face with pronounced cheekbones, defined eyes, and a neutral expression. The figure's dark hair is long and extends down the sides, adorned with three large black feathers on top. Large detailed earrings extend to the jawline on both sides. The bust is placed on a green circular plinth, with a partially visible label near the neck area. The background is plain and neutral.
