Inside of an Indian Tent

2870691

This watercolor shows a fur trader visiting a family of several men, two women, a baby and a dog within their tipi style tent. One woman wears a blanket and leggings with nothing on her upper body. The other woman wears a blue strap dress with red sleeves, incorrectly drawn. The theme and arrangement of figures is very similar to the print, "Interior of a Sioux Lodge."

Note that the image is the same as "Interior of a Sioux Lodge," but the color of the strap dresses is different, and the men wear more leather.
