The painting depicts a young Native American woman - Pocahontas - surrounded by a protective bird. The viewer can read the concern on Pocahontas' face, as if she is preoccupied with something or someone. The colors are soft and soothing, but there is an underlying sense of danger. The title of the painting - "The Indian" - suggests that the artist is interested in the plight of indigenous peoples and how they are often contested and marginalized in society. In this painting, Pocahontas is depicted as a strong and proud woman, despite the challenges she faces. The bird represents his guardian spirit, which helps him stay safe in the midst of turmoil.
