About this work
George Catlin probably made this painting of the Wonder, a member of the Winnebago tribe, at Prairie du Chien in present-day Wisconsin in 1835. The artist had first seen the Winnebagoes when a nine-member delegation came to Washington, D.C., in 1828. (Truettner, The Natural Man Observed , 1979)
