A Crow Chief, a Warrior, and His Wife

George Catlin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals standing in a row. The person on the left holds a spear upright in their right hand, has long dark hair adorned with feathers, and wears a decorated garment. The central figure wears a headdress with feathers, a fringed tunic with circular decorations, and moccasins while holding a bow and arrows. The person on the right stands with their body slightly turned to the side, hands folded in front, dressed in a lengthy garment with a patterned shawl and their hair tied back. The background features a soft, cloudy sky with faint imagery of distant mountains and grassy ground. The painting is framed with an oval shape set within a larger green frame.
