“Moki Girl Looking Over the Canyon” depicts a youthful Indian woman contemplating the vast expanse of the canyon lands of her people with the sun setting to the west. She is in her traditional dress and Moki hair style.
Watercolor dated Jan. 28, 1927, Kenya. Leigh was field artist on the Akeley–Eastman–Pomeroy AMNH expedition to record African life for museum dioramas when color photography could not yet serve that purpose. Family tradition holds he painted this Kikuyu figure as a gift for his wife, Ethel.
