The White Cloud, Head Chief of the Iowas
George Catlin
A striking mid-19th-century portrait of the Iowa chief Mew-hu-she-kaw (The White Cloud) by George Catlin.
Realist observation, academic portraiture, and luminous landscapes rooted in everyday life.
This period brings together quieter landscapes, portraiture, and richly observed scenes with a more intimate mood.
