Controversial oil portrait by Jeanie Walter Walkinshaw (1885-1976). The subject in the painting, possibly fellow artist Jacob Elshin, is dressed in ceremonial dance robe and headdress. If this is indeed Elshin, it is an example of redface and the appropriation of Native culture and dress by white settlers. This was one common example of discrimination and marginalization faced by Native peoples in the United States. The portrait artist, Walkinshaw, arrived in the Pacific Northwest in 1914, and became known both locally and nationally for her portraits and pastels of children. She was a member of many organizations including: the Women Painters of Washington, the Pacific Northwest Academy of Art, the National League of American Pen Women, and the National Association of Women Painters.
