This beautiful portrait of a Cheyenne warrior, as a relic of the past can be admired at the Galerie!

Who was he? This is the portrait of a Cheyenne warrior known as "Red Sleeve" (sometimes also called "Red Armed Panther”). This picture seems to date back to 1879. The photographer was Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931). Benson Parker is presumably the name of the photographic studio where the print was made.

The description that was given of Red Sleeve is as follows: « A good scout, a good shot and a royal good hunting companion, as I know. Fort Keogh. »
