Johnathan Buffalo oil portrait 18x24. #art #fineart #artist #meskwaki #portrait #peacemedal #oilpainting
An oil painting of a warrior of the Meskwaki Nation dressed in mid 1800s clothing. He is sitting cross legged on grass looking front right to the viewer. His long hair hangs straight down his back with red, white and black feathers appearing atop his head from the back of the head. He wears a white shirt and a vest with beadwork. Around his neck is a choker made of four strands of beads and bird bone. Below the choker are eight strings of beads with and inter mingling of small feathers or tufts of fur. Below the beads and over the vest is a three inch wide fur and bear claw necklace with two orange and yellow feathers hanging on the lower right. Prominently displayed on the center of his chest is a peace medal. In his lap he holds a tomahawk peace pipe. A six inch blue ribbon falls from each of the cuffs of his shirt. He wears rawhide leggings with two inch wide bead work and leather tassels along the side of the leggings. The background is a dark impressionist style forest and dark blue sky that lightens behind the warrior’s head.
