There are a lot of patterns present in this studio portrait of two women. While each wears traditional jewelry and the woman on the left holds a twined cornhusk bag, the fabrics and blankets appear to all be factory made.
There are a lot of patterns present in this studio portrait of two women. While each wears traditional jewelry and the woman on the left holds a twined cornhusk bag, the fabrics and blankets appear to all be factory made. It's intriguing that they chose to bring their dog to the studio; I haven't personally seen a lot of Native American formal portraits with dogs.
This image is recreated from a quality cabinet card print by J. A. McIntire of Pendleton, who in 1890 advertised himself as "the only first-class gallery in the city".
