Charles Bird King, an artist hired by the Office of Indian
Affairs to paint portraits of Native American dignitaries visiting the U.S.
Capital. F.O.C. Darley showed an idealized pioneer family in the hand-colored
lithograph, “Emigrants Crossing the Plains.”
I like this
because of the bright colours it blends into each other; he used a mixture of
primary and secondary colours and some tertiary colours. All of the colors are
soft colours except the feathers on top of his head.
