Portfolio II, Plate 61: Mósa-Mohave is a 1903 by Edward S. Curtis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a close-up portrait of a person with long, straight hair and a serious expression. They’re wearing a dark garment with a beaded necklace made of white and dark stripes. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on their face. The beaded necklace looks handmade, with careful patterns. The lighting is soft but highlights the face clearly. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting style works.
Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952) was an American artist.
