This is a 10 x 7 inch (25 x 18 cm) full color Chromolithograh of "Sitting Bull. Sioux-South Dakota, 1890". Drawn by the noted American realist artist Gilbert Gaul, it was included in the 1894 "Report on Indians Taxed and Indians Not Taxed in the United States" form the Eleventh Census (This is Mis. Doc 340, part 15 from the 52nd congress, 1st session. Washington, D.C., GPO).

In the 1880's Gilbert Gaul (1855-1919) was one of eleven artists, including Peter Moran, Julian Scott and Walter Shirlaw who were commissioned by the Federal Government to illustrate the Eleventh Census of 1890. The result was one of the most comprehensive studies of American Indian life ever published, a 683 page report which Gaul helped write as well as illustrate. In this portrait, Gaul gives Sitting Bull the dignity and gravitas of a leader ( in my humble non-artistic opinion) and creates a strking image. VG+, verso blank.
