National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals standing in a grassy landscape. On the left, a male wears a feathered headdress, paint on his face, long hair, a fringed outfit, and holds arrows. In the center stands another male wrapped in cloth, wearing a feathered headdress, necklaces, and holding a ceremonial pipe. On the right, a female with braided hair wears a skirt, necklaces, and bracelets. The background consists of green grass and hills under a light blue sky, enclosed in an oval border against a sepia-toned background.
