The correct answer is:

a) George Catlin

George Catlin (1796-1872) was an American painter, author, and traveler, who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Catlin was the first white man to portray Plains Indians in their native territory.

He created two major collections of paintings of American Indians and wrote books about his travels amid the native peoples of North, Central, and South America.
