EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, titled "CATLIN: IROQUOIS MOTHER" we are transported back to the early 19th century to witness a tender moment between an Iroquois woman and her child. Painted by George Catlin in oil on canvas between 1835-6, this artwork beautifully captures the affectionate bond shared by mother and baby. Che-Ah-Ka-Tchee, the Iroquois woman depicted in the painting, is seated gracefully while holding her child in a traditional cradleboard. The cradleboard not only serves as a means of transportation for the baby but also provides comfort and security akin to being swaddled. Catlin's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of Che-Ah-Ka-Tchee's clothing, which showcases intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect her cultural heritage. The artist skillfully captures the serene expression on Che-Ah-Ka-Tchee's face as she gazes down at her precious bundle of joy. This portrait serves as a testament to Catlin's dedication to documenting Native American culture during his travels throughout America. Through his artistry, he sought to preserve their traditions and way of life for future generations. "CATLIN: IROQUOIS MOTHER" stands as both a work of fine art and an important historical document that allows us glimpses into the lives of indigenous women during this period. It reminds us of the universal love shared between mothers and children across cultures
