Image: Shanawdithit portrait
Description: A miniature portrait titled "A female Red Indian of Newfoundland" which some sources date to 1841. It is believed to be a portrait of Shanawdithit, a Beothuk woman. Most likely a painted copy of Portrait of Demasduit (Mary March), by Lady Henrietta Hamilton (1819, see File:Demasduit.jpg). Although sometimes attributed to William Gosse, the painter was more likely naturalist Philip Henry Gosse (see also Mullen, Gary R., "Philip Henry Gosse," Encyclopedia of Alabama, 26 August 2008, retrieved 9 September 2011)
