United States, New Mexico, Santo Domingo Pueblo
1940s
Hand-colored photograph
Height 13 1/2 × Width 16 1/2" (34.3 × 41.9 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona
This hand-colored photograph by Larry Kelly depicts a Santo Domingo Pueblo man in close portrait view, signed lower right and dating to the 1940s. The sitter is shown with a headscarf, textile, and necklace, giving the portrait clear Pueblo visual context within a later tradition of Southwestern Native American portrait photography. The image belongs within the Southwest region and is described with specific New Mexico attribution.
The hand-coloring adds selective emphasis to the textile, headscarf, and jewelry while retaining the structure of the photographic portrait. The close composition focuses attention on the sitter's face and direct presence rather than on a broader setting. The print is in collector condition with private Phoenix provenance.
