"Head Chief Clermont and his wife and child, 1841" is a painting by the American artist George Catlin, depicting a family scene of the Osage Nation. George Catlin (1796–1872) was a painter, writer, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Catlin's intention was to record the appearance and customs of America's native inhabitants, which he believed were being irreversibly altered by the expansion of European settlement.

This particular work, created in 1841, is part of Catlin's larger body of work that aimed to document the indigenous peoples of North America. The painting features Clermont, also known as Clermont the Second, who was a prominent Osage head chief, alongside his wife and child, capturing a personal and familial aspect of Native American life that was often overlooked in the artistic and historical records of the time.

The painting is characterized by Catlin's attention to detail and his use of color to convey the vibrancy of Native American culture. The subjects are typically portrayed with a sense of dignity and poise, emblematic of Catlin's respect for his subjects and desire to portray them as noble and proud peoples.

As with many of Catlin's works, "Head Chief Clermont and his wife and child, 1841" serves as both a piece of art and a historical document. It provides insight into the attire, physical appearance, and social structures of the Osage Nation during the early 19th century. The painting is a valuable resource for understanding the cultural heritage of the Osage people and the broader context of Native American history during a period of significant change and upheaval.

The painting is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection, which houses many of Catlin's works. The museum's collection of Catlin's paintings is one of the most comprehensive in the world and serves as a significant repository for those interested in the history and culture of Native American tribes during the 19th century.
