- Lot Description
Three-quarter length studio portrait albumen boudoir card. Armour, South Dakota: Perry Studio, circa 1880s. Photographer's imprint stamped to mount recto. Additional Photographer's imprint to lower margin recto. Faint illegible pencil inscription to recto lower left margin. Modern mat and frame.
Stunning portrait of a Native American chief, probably of the Lower Brule. He stands in profile, his hair draped over his shoulders, with a single feather. His fringed hide coat is beaded with turtle and six-pointed star motifs.
H.B. Perry operated a studio in Chamberlain, South Dakota in 1888, and notably photographed at the nearby Lower Brule Agency, almost certainly identifying the subject as a chief of the tribe. (Mautz, p. 192).
A beautiful, unpublished portrait.
