A young Indigenous American sits peering over his shoulder. He appears to be dressed in traditional Native dance regalia, suggesting he might be turned to watch someone perform before him. His apparel is stunning, complete with eye-catching breadth and detail, and brightly colored feathers. Cobalt blue is set in striking contrast to the explosion of warmly colored plumage.
