About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wrapped in a heavy fur cloak. His head is bare except for a decorated band with feathers and beads. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his serious expression and the texture of his clothing. The title at the bottom calls him a "Renegade Type-Apache," which suggests this photo was meant to show a specific cultural identity. Want to see more by this photographer? Check out Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868–1952).
