The vivid colors and intricate details of her adornment are beautifully captured in this color lithograph. This artwork is part of a private collection, offering a glimpse into the historical and ethnographic significance of Native American tribes. The image originates from an article on The Seri Indians by W. J. McGee, featured in the Seventeenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Smithsonian Institution in 1895-96. It was later included in J. W. Powell's publication, providing valuable insights into indigenous cultures during that time period. The face painting depicted here represents not only a form of artistic expression but also holds social and cultural significance within Native American communities.
