BODMER-CATLIN SERIES 2
“Keokuk, Sac and Fox Chief”
Bronze, Edition of 35
The second in a series of sculptures inspired by the Explorer Artists Bodmer and Catlin, Keokuk, known as Watchful Fox, was painted in 1830 by George Catlin. Catlin wrote, “I have represented him in the costume, precisely, in which he was dressed when he stood for it, with his shield on his arm, and his staff (insignia of office) in his left hand. There is no Indian Chief on the frontier better known at this time, or more highly appreciated for his eloquence as a public speaker, than Keokuk.”
