Portrait of Maungwudaus
Portrait of Maungwudaus
  • ... that a painting of Maungwudaus (pictured), an Ojibwe performer and herbalist, is the "second-most valuable artwork" in Canada?
  • Reviewed: 1991 Zaire unrest
  • Comment: One of the books has no page numbers on Google Books. I was unable to find out more information on his other children partially due to many unavailable pages.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Though no source was included in the nomination, I was able to verify the hook using the sources in the article. However, the quote is from an article written almost 20 years ago. Maybe clarify that at the time it was sold, the portrait was the second-most valuable artwork in Canada. (apart from this and the QPQ (which I assume is still in progress), this DYK seems good to go) GeneralPoxter (talkcontribs) 16:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph

[edit]
Photograph of Maungwudaus, c.1846
”Great Hero” by George Catlin at the Smithsonian
Touring group in Europe, c.1846: Maungwudaus is second from the left

Here is a photograph which for some reason an edit filter is stopping me adding.

And (I think) the Catlin portrait, although frankly it does not look very similar.

My comment at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports seems to have disappeared without trace but for some reason I’m allowed to make the edit I wanted now. There is a group photo too.
