The Female Eagle - Shawano
1830
Medium:
Oil on canvas

Canvas: 72.2 x 59 cm (28 7/16 x 23 1/4 in.)
Framed: 81.3 x 67.9 cm (32 x 26 3/4 in.)
George Catlin is best-known for his depictions of Native American culture. Despite being a highly controversial artist, Catlin's portraits, like this one, provide a 19th-century view on American Indian life. Particularly noticeable here is the 'Eagle's' costume, her jewellery, and the red paint on her face and hair.
