Painting Description
"Pshán-shaw, Sweet-scented Grass, Twelve-year-old Daughter of Bloody Hand" is a portrait by the American painter George Catlin, depicting a young Native American girl. George Catlin (1796–1872) was an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Catlin was one of the earliest artists to travel extensively among the Plains Indians of North America and to document their cultures, creating a substantial body of work that has become both historically and artistically significant.
The painting's subject, Pshán-shaw, is identified as the twelve-year-old daughter of "Bloody Hand," a name that suggests her father's prominence or notoriety, possibly as a warrior or leader within her tribe. The title "Sweet-scented Grass" may refer to a personal name or attribute associated with the girl, indicative of Catlin's attention to the individual characteristics and cultural significance of his subjects.
Catlin's work is particularly noted for its ethnographic accuracy and sensitivity to the individuality of his subjects. His portraits are often considered among the most important records of indigenous peoples of the Americas in the early 19th century, a time when their traditional ways of life were increasingly under threat from European-American expansion.
The painting is part of Catlin's larger body of work, which aimed to record the appearance and customs of America's native inhabitants. Catlin's dedication to this project led him to produce over 500 paintings and to publish written accounts of his travels and observations. His collection, known as the "Catlin Indian Gallery," toured the United States and Europe, helping to shape contemporary views of Native American societies.
As with many of Catlin's portraits, "Pshán-shaw, Sweet-scented Grass, Twelve-year-old Daughter of Bloody Hand" is valued not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the historical and cultural understanding of Native American peoples during a pivotal period in United States history. The painting is likely to be held in a museum or private collection, and it may be featured in exhibitions that explore the intersection of art, history, and anthropology.
