Two Indigenous Men in Traditional Attire with Rifle and Staff

This oval-shaped watercolor painting depicts two Indigenous men standing in a grassy landscape under a pale blue sky. The man on the left wears a long, patterned tunic with a fur-lined hood and holds a staff with feathers. The man on the right is dressed in a fringed, fur-trimmed tunic, a sash, and leggings, and carries a long rifle. Both men wear fur hats. The background features rolling hills and distant mountains. The artwork is presented within a larger mat and frame, with a label at the top reading '71.'. The style suggests a historical or ethnographic illustration, possibly from the 19th century, capturing the attire and weaponry of Native American individuals.
