About this work

This watercolor painting depicts a person in traditional attire, holding a tall pole adorned with feathers and colorful tassels. The individual wears a blue shirt, yellow pants, and moccasins, with a black belt around their waist and a red ribbon tied in their hair. The person's face is blurred, and they are shown in profile, facing left. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the vibrant colors of the clothing and pole.
