Elk-Foot of the Taos Tribe is a 1909 painting which is considered to be the masterwork of E. Irving Couse.

The painting was purchased for the United States national art collection by the well-known art collector William T. Evans and is now displayed in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

A coup stick would be carried by North Americans, but not by the Taos tribe.

The blanket Elk-Foot wears is from England, and his moccasins were from Couse's studio, and weren't used during the Taos period.
