A statuesque, heroic portrait of Lady Mary Bailey (the aviator) standing confidently by her small biplane, the De Havilland Moth.

Style: Neoclassical painting emphasizing idealized forms, clear lines, balanced composition, and muted color palettes (such as marble white, deep blues, and sepia tones). The figures and machine should look elegant and timeless, like a heroic ancient myth.
"A historically accurate depiction of a Ghost Dance, focusing on the late 19th-century context, specifically around 1890-1891. The scene shows Lakota (Sioux) or Northern Paiute people (specify one or include elements of both, but avoid anachronisms) participating in the ceremony.

Setting: A vast, open prairie or high desert landscape, under an expansive sky. The time of day could be dusk or night, with a prominent moon or stars, or a bright, clear day. Avoid overtly spiritual or ethereal elements like floating spirits unless explicitly requested for a later, more symbolic iteration. The focus should be on the earthly ceremony.

Participants: A circle of men, women, and children, hand-in-hand, moving in a slow, rhythmic shuffle or circular motion. Their faces show a mixture of devotion, hope, and determination. Some may have expressions of trance or deep concentration.

Attire:

    Ghost Dance Shirts/Dresses: Emphasize the unique Ghost Dance shirts and dresses, which were typically made of muslin or canvas. These garments should feature painted designs such as stars, crescents, birds (especially eagles or crows), buffalo, human figures, or crosses. The designs should appear hand-painted, not mass-produced.

    Hair and Adornments: Participants should have braided hair or wear it long. Some may wear feathers (e.g., eagle or hawk feathers) in their hair. Minimal traditional adornments, as the focus was often on the Ghost Dance shirt itself. Avoid overly elaborate or Hollywood-esque depictions of war bonnets unless relevant to a specific individual and context.

    Footwear: Moccasins or bare feet.

Action/Atmosphere:

    The dancers are moving in a counter-clockwise circle, with a central figure or a small group often leading.

    The overall mood is one of earnest prayer and communal spiritual effort. The dance should convey a sense of hope for renewal and the return of the old ways, rather than aggression or despair.

    There might be a central pole or small fire as a focal point, around which the dance takes place.

    Avoid any signs of direct conflict or violence; the Ghost Dance itself was a non-violent spiritual movement.

Specific Considerations for Accuracy:

    Wovoka's Influence: The teachings of Wovoka (the Northern Paiute prophet) emphasized peace, hard work, and the return of the buffalo and deceased ancestors. The scene should subtly reflect this hopeful, redemptive spirit.

    Regional Variations: If focusing on Lakota, consider their specific interpretations, which sometimes included more imagery related to their warrior traditions on the shirts, but still within the peaceful framework of the dance.

    Respectful Portrayal: Ensure the depiction is respectful and avoids any stereotypical or caricatured representations of Indigenous people. Focus on their human dignity and spiritual sincerity.
"A group of determined 19th-century gold miners panning for gold in a shallow, rocky stream in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the California Gold Rush. They are wearing rugged, worn clothing and wide-brimmed hats. Sunlight filters through pine trees, casting dappled light on the scene. One miner is intensely focused on his gold pan, while another is sifting through gravel. The water is clear, revealing pebbles and glints of potential gold. The background shows a rugged, forested landscape with distant hills."
