Four Arowak Indians 1854 - 1869

"Four Arowak Indians" is a watercolor painting by George Catlin, completed between 1854 and 1869. It depicts four Arowak Indians, a Native American tribe from the Caribbean, standing in a landscape setting. Catlin, known for his extensive documentation of Native American cultures, often portrayed indigenous peoples in idealized settings, capturing their traditions and attire. This work highlights the diversity of Native American cultures through a visual representation of Arowak dress, jewelry, and weaponry.
