1898 Moqui portraits

I recently visited the Chicago Art Institute. There were 5 s

mallish portraits of important Moqui men in their ceremonial dress, painted in 1898. I think they are wonderful records of jewelry of the time. Here are 2 of the portraits.

Pretty amazing. I guess Burbank witnessed the Snake Dance and did portraits of the participants. http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/182388
