About this work

This portrait features a man with long hair and a serious expression, gazing directly at the viewer. His face is weathered, with deep lines etched into his skin. He wears no shirt, and his right hand is visible in the lower right corner of the image. The man's hair is parted in the middle, and his eyes seem to hold a quiet intensity. The background of the portrait is dark, which helps to draw attention to the subject's face. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this portrait, titled "Oyí-tsa ('Duck White'), Summer Cacique of Santa Clara," created by Edward S. Curtis in 1905. You might want to look up more works by Edward S.
