A sculptor of Indian figures and portraits, Cyrus Dallin created work
that showed Indians as having noble bearing, simplicity, dignity, and
elaborate costumes. This was a departure from earlier depictions
of them "as a pitiful but appealing remnant of a once-proud and noble
race." (Baigell 85) He was a careful student of anatomy, costume,
and psysiognomay, and his highly realistic figures made them seem
natural, interesting and worth knowing as human beings.
