Large-format mounted studio portrait depicting the Native American subject identified as Two Lance, seated outdoors on layered animal pelts and rockwork. The subject wears traditional attire including feathered hair adornments, a bone breastplate, beaded moccasins, and holds a long pipe. The image is a silver gelatin print measuring approximately 10 × 13 inches, mounted to a 10.5 × 14 inch card mount. The composition, tonal range, and surface characteristics are consistent with early 20th-century studio photography.
The mount bears a printed imprint at lower edge reading “Heyn, Omaha, Neb.” with a printed copyright line dated 1900, indicating production by the Heyn photographic studio in Omaha, Nebraska. The photographer’s imprint and copyright are part of the original mount design and establish firm authorship and date for the image.
The verso of the mount shows later commercial handling marks, including a stamped business address unrelated to the original photograph. No additional captions or titles appear on the mount beyond the Heyn imprint.
