Mixed media on paper signed “J. Hauser,” presenting a bust portrait of Yellow Dog, identified on the plaque as a Native American medicine man. Yellow Dog was associated with the Oglala Lakota and was known to act as a tribal healer and ceremonial figure. In the late 19th century, many Native spiritual leaders such as Yellow Dog were subjects of both admiration and scrutiny by ethnographers and artists. John Hauser, who studied in Munich and Paris, was among the first formally trained American painters to focus extensively on Native American themes. Sight: 12 x 8 in.; Frame: 21 x 17 in.
