Three Woyaway Indians

George Catlin

National Gallery of Art

Three individuals are shown in full body in the image. The person on the far left leans against a rocky surface holding a bow, with long, dark hair adorned with feathers and wearing red fabric around their waist. The central figure stands holding a bow, wearing a fringed garment and feathers in their hair. The person on the right poses with one knee raised, holding a spear, with dark hair adorned with feathers and wearing jewelry and light-colored fabric around their waist. The background shows a painted scene with soft brown and green tones, resembling natural terrain with foliage on the left side.
