Description:
|
Described in Vol. II, pp. 125-126. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "Ball-play Dance, Choctaw.--Men and women dance around their respective stakes, at intervals, during the night preceeding the play--four conjurors sit all night and smoke to the Great Spirit, at the point where the ball is to be started--and stakeholders guard the good staked." Originally sketched at Fort Gibson in 1834 and painted in the period 1834-1835 (Truettner, 1979, p. 264). See also plate 22 in Catlin's North American Indian Portfolio.
