As we approach Thanksgiving I have decided to focus my attention on Native Americans.
The subject here is Hattie Tom, a sixteen year old Mescalero Apache photographed in 1899 by Frank A. Rinehart.
This is my first portrait of a person, and my first sketch of a face. The dimensions are 11 x 14, drawn in 3B-6B lead.

Really impressive work. I would never have guessed this was your first portrait of a person. 👏👏
