Remarks

Painting by Maynard Dixon, Iesaka Waken, 1922. The model for the figure was a Winnebago Indian named George Whitewing, an extra for early Hollywood Western films, and who Dixon used for as a model for murals painted for Anita Baldwin McClaughry in 1912. Whitewing and Dixon became close friends.
