Description: This circa 1890 painting captures a portrait of a Native American figure in traditional attire. The artwork, executed in oil on canvas, depicts a standing male figure, adorned with a dramatic red headdress with feather accents, and tribal jewelry, including prominent beaded necklaces and bands on his arm. The subject is draped with a white shawl featuring subtle dark and red detailing. The figure's attire is further detailed with a sash-like garment around his waist, adorned with beads and colorful accents, and decorated armbands that add to his regal appearance. The painting is set against a muted, softly blended background in hues of blue and green, which emphasizes the rich earth tones and vibrant reds of the figure's attire. The artist’s style leans toward a realistic yet expressive portrayal, capturing the solemn dignity of the subject with fine details and textured brushwork. Artist signature in lower right corner "Harper". The ornate frame is richly patterned with intricate scrolls and floral motifs, finished in a muted gold tone that complements the painting's vintage appeal. The inner border has a subtle bead pattern, further enhancing the frame’s grandeur and historical feel. The framed artwork measuring 14 inches by 20 inches and the painting itself 8 inches by 13 inches. Good antique condition with age-related wear and some losses to the frame.
