A vertically oriented sepia photogravure depicts an Arikara girl with medium-dark skin tone in profile facing our right. Her dark hair is parted centrally and gathered at the nape. She has a calm expression and wears a garment featuring a beaded neckline and multiple rows of cream, teardrop-shaped objects decorating the dark fabric. The composition is rendered in warm tones with a grainy texture. Text below reads "ARIKARA GIRL."
