Bull Child, Blackfoot; [Bull Child]

Sharp painted among the Blackfeet Indians for the first full summer in 1902. This is an early portrait of one of his favorite subjects from that tribe.  It may be the version that traveled to the National Arts Club in New York in December in 1902 and then on to St. Botolph Club in Boston in January 1903.
