About the Item

Evidence of Western Europe's fascination with Native American culture, dress and way of life for over a century, this vivid drawing uses watercolor, gouache and crayon to capture a group of six American Indians performing a ritual dance, complete with feather headdresses and deer skin clothing. Jean Target, a young man in the 1930s, loved to capture the color and movement of ballet and native dance and this piece is one of several offered by Renaissance Man.
