Three Young Tobos Men

George Catlin

National Gallery of Art

Three individuals are depicted in full-body portraits. The central figure stands with one leg crossed over the other, holding a spear adorned with feathers. They have long black hair with feathers, a beaded necklace, and wear minimal clothing. To the left, another individual stands holding a pipe, with long black hair with feathers, minimal clothing, and anklets made of feathers. On the right is the third figure holding a bow and arrow, wearing similar attire and a necklace, with long black hair. The background is a light, neutral field with hints of green, and the artwork is framed with a green border.
