Three Riccarree Indians

George Catlin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals standing side by side. The person on the left wears a robe and has long dark hair with feathers. The middle person, also with dark hair and feathers, is holding a staff and a shield. The person on the right has long dark hair, wearing a fur-lined robe over a decorated dress. They all wear traditional clothing with vibrant patterns and colors. The background suggests an open natural setting with grass and a cloudy sky.
