This is a pen and ink portrait of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe. Again, an interpretive portrait inspired from the Edward Curtis photographs.I used mostly black ink with some embellishment in sepia ink. (Due to scanning difficulty, some discoloration may appear on the edges of the bristol paper.
