Oil on canvas of an Indian woman. The painting is unframed and measures 10 x 16 1/8. It is signed in the lower left corner W. Meutmann and on the back there is a brass plate that reads. Lone Elk W. Meuttman. The colors are all cool except for the red cloak she wears. I purchased this painting from a gentleman who inherited it from his grandfather. His story is that  his grandfather won it during a poker game. The subject is most likely a Chippewa. She has two buns of hair meaning she is free to marry and can bear children. The setting for this painting may be from Cross Village, Michigan and painted around 1905-1910. W. Meuttman was born 1869 in Cincinnati Ohio and died in 1948. He traveled the West, painting scenes with Indians including the Sioux and members of Southwest tribes. The Smithsonian Inventory lists three paintings by him. Meuttman was a member of the Cincinnati Art Club.
