Salomon, Medicine Man is a 1898 oil by Henry Raschen, a American Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting depicts a man with long dark hair, wearing a red headband adorned with small black designs. He is dressed in a white shirt and has dangling earrings. The background is a muted gray color. The man's attire and accessories suggest that he is from a specific cultural or ethnic group, but without more information, it's difficult to say which one. The artist's use of muted colors and simple composition creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation.
