"Sih-chida & Mahchsi-karehde, Mandan Indians, Pl. 20, From Travels In The Interior Of North America" is a notable artwork by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, who accompanied German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied on his expedition to North America during the years 1832 to 1834. This particular plate is part of a larger collection of works that were included in Prince Maximilian's published account, "Travels in the Interior of North America," which documented the landscapes, peoples, flora, and fauna encountered during their journey.

The artwork captures the likenesses of two Mandan Native Americans, Sih-chida and Mahchsi-karehde, and is a significant historical record of the Mandan people before the smallpox epidemic of 1837-1838, which drastically reduced their population and impacted their culture. Bodmer's attention to detail and his commitment to accurately portraying his subjects have made his works some of the most important and reliable visual accounts of Native American life in the Upper Missouri region during the early 19th century.

Bodmer's watercolors and prints, including "Sih-chida & Mahchsi-karehde, Mandan Indians," are praised for their ethnographic accuracy and artistic quality. They are considered invaluable resources for understanding the cultural heritage of the indigenous tribes of the North American Great Plains. Today, these works are held in high esteem by art historians, ethnologists, and collectors, and they continue to contribute to the study and appreciation of Native American history and art.

The plate in question, as with others from the collection, showcases Bodmer's skill in portraiture and his sensitive approach to depicting individuals from different cultures. It remains a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of North America and serves as a poignant reminder of the many indigenous communities that have undergone dramatic changes since the time of European contact and settlement.
