Description:
|
Described in Vol. II, p. 211. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "Wee-sheet, the Sturgeon's Head; one of Black Hawk's principal warriors; his body most singularly ornamented with his war-paint. This man held a spear in his hand, with which, he assured me, he killed four white men during the war." Originally painted in 1832 (Truettner, 1979, p. 149).
