"Yellow Corn, Indian Girl of the Iowas of the Missouris" is a notable portrait by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a French-born artist renowned for his detailed and realistic portraits of early American figures. Created in the early 19th century, this work exemplifies Saint-Mémin's meticulous approach to portraiture, which often involved the use of a physiognotrace, a device that allowed for precise outlines of a subject's profile.

Saint-Mémin's portraits are significant for their historical and ethnographic value, capturing the visages of a diverse array of individuals during a transformative period in American history. "Yellow Corn, Indian Girl of the Iowas of the Missouris" is particularly important as it provides a rare visual record of Native American life and individuals at a time when such representations were scarce. The Iowas, also known as the Ioway, are a Native American Siouan people, and this portrait offers insight into their cultural heritage and the personal identity of Yellow Corn.

The artist's technique involved creating a profile drawing, which was then transferred to a copper plate for engraving. This method allowed for the production of highly detailed and accurate likenesses, which were then printed and distributed. Saint-Mémin's works are characterized by their fine lines and attention to detail, capturing not only the physical features but also the attire and adornments of his subjects, thereby providing a richer context for understanding their lives and cultures.

"Yellow Corn, Indian Girl of the Iowas of the Missouris" stands as a testament to Saint-Mémin's skill and his contribution to the documentation of early American history. The portrait is a valuable artifact that offers a glimpse into the lives of Native American women during a period of significant change and upheaval. Through this work, Saint-Mémin has preserved a piece of cultural history that continues to inform and inspire contemporary audiences.
