Portfolio VI, Plate 212: Cheyenne Girl is a 1905 by Edward S. Curtis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a young woman. She’s wearing a beaded necklace and a shawl with long fringe hanging down the front. Her hair is pulled back into two thick braids, and she has a serious look on her face. The photo was taken in 1905, and the artist wanted to show her traditional clothing clearly. The lighting makes her face stand out against the dark background. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
