- Description
- Unknown artist, about 1869
- “Drawing made by a Comanche Indian”
- [Title given by collector Dr. Edward Palmer]
- Media: Colored inks on paper
- This drawing of a Comanche warrior was likely prepared and collected in 1869 at the Kiowa and Comanche Agency in present-day Oklahoma. The artist’s representation of a warrior on horseback follows a tradition of pictographic imagery which presents the subject on one plane without the illusion of depth. Here both of the warrior’s legs and leg sashes are imaged on the viewer’s side of the horse.
