Gelatin silver print
17.5 in high x 14.5 in wide including frame; 44.45 cm high x 36.83 cm wide
Provenance: Ben Johnson, Los Angeles, California
This gelatin silver print depicts a Native American man in Plains regalia, signed by G. Bruckner. The sitter wears a feather headdress, layered beadwork, and decorated clothing, with the face and upper body filling most of the composition. The image is presented in a dark wooden frame, giving the portrait a formal, focused presence.
The close crop emphasizes the sitter’s expression, headdress, beadwork, and photographic surface. The signature and Native-head device are visible within the lower portion of the image, with Bruckner’s name appearing at lower left. As an early 20th-century framed portrait, the work presents a direct image of Plains dress and photographic representation from the period.
