Modern Indigenous Portrait Print with Symbols

This artwork is a vertical portrait of an Indigenous male figure, likely a chieftain or elder, rendered in monochromatic sepia or earth tones. The subject is depicted wearing a traditional horned headdress with feathers, and a multi-layered beaded pectorial necklace. The composition is layered, featuring two tipis (teepees) in the foreground adorned with bison silhouettes and arrow motifs. A dense pine forest separates the figure from the foreground structures, creating a sense of depth and spiritual presence. The artwork is executed on a textured paper with deckled (hand-torn) edges, suggesting a high-quality print or a piece of original paper-based media. At the bottom right corner, there is a stylized geometric signature or mark incorporating the name 'ELIE'. The style appears to be contemporary Western or Southwestern art, likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The piece is professionally mounted in a tiered double mat with a mauve or taupe inner border, housed within a dark-stained wood frame with simple beaded detailing. The craftsmanship of the drawing shows fine attention to texture, particularly in the hair, feathers, and fur. There is some minor glare on the glass, but the print itself appears well-preserved with no visible foxing, water damage, or fading in the pigments. The wood frame shows very minor surface scuffing consistent with age.
