Snake Man, Gros Ventre; [Snake Man]

Penciled on dust cover: Snake Man-Gros Ventre. Inscribed on paper attached to dust cover: Snake Man - Gros Ventre 1897-8 A sub-chief of strong character. Could get little personal history except he was used much at the agency in tribal conferences.

 

Given the signature style, this portrait was probably painted after 1903.
