Four Apachee Indians

George Catlin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four individuals standing. Two figures on the left are men in traditional clothing with feathered headdresses. One is in a red-bordered blanket and the other wears leggings and a sash with spears/staffs. The figure on the far right is a woman holding a baby in a cradleboard, wearing a skirt and shawl. Another male figure in the center wears leggings and holds a bow. The background is lightly painted in blue and green, suggesting a natural setting, with the figures standing on grass.
