A Sioux Chief [Has-No-Horses] 1898

"A Sioux Chief [Has-No-Horses]" is a striking portrait by Joseph T. Keiley from 1898. This intimate, close-up image depicts the Sioux Chief's face in detail, capturing a stoic expression with piercing gaze. The artist's use of muted tones and a slightly blurred background creates a sense of focus on the subject, highlighting the individual within the broader cultural context. This work is a powerful example of portraiture within the context of Native American art, held within the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
