A Stone Warrior, His Wife, and a Boy

George Catlin

National Gallery of Art

Three individuals are depicted in a grassy outdoor area. The person in the center is facing forward, wearing a beige garment with fringe details, a necklace, and a feathered headdress. They hold a decorated object. To the left, a slightly smaller individual stands wearing a similar outfit with necklaces and a red cloth belt. This person also wears a feathered headdress. To the right, another person is shown turned sideways, wrapped in a beige cloth or blanket with long dark hair tied back. Each person wears moccasin-style footwear and colorful striped leggings. The background shows a softly painted sky with hints of clouds and distant greenery.
