"Naudowessieman en -vrouw" (1804) by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman, a German painter, is a watercolor drawing depicting a Native American couple. The man stands on the left, holding a gourd, while the woman holds a pipe and a woven bag. The image is an example of Portman's interest in depicting Indigenous cultures, which was a common theme in 19th-century art. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is a valuable record of the artistic style of the time and the perception of indigenous cultures.
