Large painting of Wovoka-Paiute Messiah by K.T. Young. Very expressive portrait, striking eyes and facial features, along with color usage. This oil-on-canvas image measures 23.75 x 19.5, while the beautiful frame measures 31 x 27.5. The inner frame around the image has inlaid contrasting wood banding to accentuate the colors. Wovoka became known as a messiah after having a great vision. Out of this vision the famous Ghost Dance evolved, which evetually led to the infamous Souix massacre at Wounded Knee Creek in the late 1800s. Wovoka was born in 1854 in the Sierras of Nevada. From the Tahoe Wovoka Estate Collection.
