About this piece
“Mosa (Mohave)” is an original Edward Curtis photogravure for sale and one of the most celebrated portraits in Curtis’s series The North American Indian, a young Mohave girl whose direct gaze and painted adornment make the image unforgettable. Curtis’s tonal mastery gives the portrait extraordinary immediacy, printed as a hand-pulled impression from the original copper plates rather than a modern reproduction. The warm depth and fine detail are the signature of an authentic Curtis photogravure. At 16” x 12”, it is an ideal size for a focused, gallery-style hanging. Because it is drawn from one of only four known volumes made from Curtis’s original plates, this is a genuine collector’s piece, an Edward Curtis original print prized as museum-quality fine art photography and as one of the artist’s most iconic Native American portraits.
