Portfolio III, Plate 103: Red Cloud-Ogalala is a 1905 by Edward S. Curtis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of an elderly man with long, gray hair. He is wearing a dark shirt and a dark scarf around his neck. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The man's face is wrinkled, and his eyes are looking down. His expression is serious. The artist has used shadows and light to create depth in the painting. The painting is a good example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression. If you want to learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952) was an American artist.
