Provenance: Larry Frank, Taos, New Mexico
This cabinet card depicts a Kiowa man standing in a full-length studio pose, holding a bow at his side and wearing a brimmed hat, fringed clothing, beadwork, and decorated garments, with a painted backdrop and studio props visible behind him. Kiowa people are part of the Southern Plains, with historic ties across the Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas region, and this image presents a period document of Kiowa dress and studio portraiture from the late 19th century. The Larry Frank provenance is notable, as Frank was a respected dealer and scholar of Southwestern and Plains material culture based in Taos, New Mexico.
