Sih-Chidä and Mahchsi-Karehde is a 1841 ink by Johann Hürlimann, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts two Native American men standing side by side, facing left. They wear traditional clothing, including feathered headdresses, long coats, and moccasins. The man on the left has a brown coat with a blue belt, while the man on the right wears a dark brown coat with a white and gold necklace. Both men have long black hair and carry feathers in their hands. The background of the painting features a rocky hillside with sparse vegetation, set against a gray sky. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of dignity and pride, as the two men stand together, looking out at the viewer. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Hürlimann, Johann.
