Tsee-moúnt, Great Wonder, Carrying Her Baby in Her Robe

George Catlin described his image of a Plains Cree woman and her baby as a “full length portrait . . . showing fairly the fashion of cutting and ornamenting the dresses of the females in this tribe.” He painted this portrait at Fort Union in the upper Midwest in 1832.
