George Catlin, born Wilkes-Barre, PA 1796-died Jersey City, NJ 1872 · 1844-1845
George Catlin described Walking Rain as “54 years of age, and nearly six feet and a half in height,” and claimed that his earlier portrait of the Iowa war chief was then hanging in Egyptian Hall, London, where he probably made this copy. (Truettner, The Natural Man Observed, 1979)
