Eagle Feather Prayer Chant is the right half of what was originally a much larger composition executed in 1915, entitled The Chief’s Two Sons. Sometime after 1920 Blumenschein cut the canvas in half and reworked the backgrounds of both pieces in order to create separate paintings. The other half depicts a male figure similar in age and also holding an eagle-wing fan but facing the viewer. (This painting is now titled Eagle Fan and is in the collection of the Denver Art Museum.) (Source: Colby Museum of Art [website]; http://www.colby.edu /museum/)
