Original Description
Qua-ta-wa-pea, A Shawanoe Chief; Payta-kootha, A Shawanoe Warrior; And Tens-kwau-ta-waw, The Prophet from McKenney and Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of North America is a striking 19th-century lithograph by John T. Bowen, capturing the dignified presence of three Shawnee leaders against a minimalist backdrop. The artwork exudes gravity and cultural significance, portraying intricate details in regalia and facial expressions—conveying both individuality and symbolic leadership. Created circa 1837–1844, this piece belongs to a seminal portrait series combining ethnographic documentation with Romantic-era artistic flair, bridging historical record and portraiture. Its hand-colored lithography reflects the era’s technological advancements in printmaking, while the compositions evoke neoclassical balance, placing it at the intersection of anthropology and fine art. Today, it is celebrated for its role in preserving Native American heritage and its influence on later ethnographic art.
For display, this lithograph would elevate a study, library, or executive office with its timeless gravitas. A classic wooden frame with a subtle gold or bronze finish would complement its vintage charm, while a matte ivory matting enhances the delicate hand-coloring. Pair it with warm, earthy tones—deep greens, russets, or navy walls—to underscore its historical warmth. Ideal for a focal wall above a desk or sofa, its mid-sized dimensions (approximately 20x24 inches when matted) suit both intimate and spacious settings. To balance its formal tone, juxtapose it with minimalist décor or rustic wood accents, ensuring the artwork remains the centerpiece. In a gallery wall, group it with other 19th-century prints or indigenous art for a curated historical narrative.
