The sitter, identified on an old caption card as Little Horse of the Oglala Sioux, is shown in three-quarter length, turned to face right. Studio portraits of Plains sitters were made in large numbers around 1899, and many circulated as commercial images, including prints like this one that were registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. The name and tribal attribution come from unverified caption data, so the picture is best read as a record of one studio portrait rather than a confirmed biography.
