"Indian Group" (1845) by Charles Deas (1818–1867) explores the physical appearance of Deas' Native American subjects and the perils associated with their nomadic lifestyle (see picture gallery below). "The Potter" (1889) by George de Forest Brush (1855–1941) is another example in the ACMAA collection of an artist's exacting and nuanced method of depicting an indigenous American sitter. "Attention Company!" (1878) by William M. Harnett (1848–1892) is the only known figural composition by this American master of trompe-l'œil ("fool the eye") painting.
