Info taken from a website:

Winold Reiss, a renowned artist, created captivating Native American portraits that have left an indelible mark on art enthusiasts. His work often captures the essence of indigenous cultures with remarkable precision.

Additionally, Reiss’s original portraits, commissioned by the Great Northern Railway in the 1930s, showcase Native American Blackfoot individuals. These portraits offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Blackfoot tribe. Some of these prints were featured in a Great Northern RR Calendar.
