Which of the following best describes these two images of Native Americans?

Two depictions of Native Americans are shown. The first figure is a detailed watercolor of warrior Pehriska Ruhpa. The painting is done in muted earth tones and is realistic. He covers most of the painting. Although there is ground beneath him and small mountains behind him, most of the painting is of him. He is standing upright with light brown robes draped over him. In his right arm he holds a long narrow pipe. The pipe is almost as tall as he is. Around his neck is a necklace made from animal bones. On his left shoulder is a tan blanket that has a concentric design. The second figure is a colorful pencil and ink drawing on a sheet of lined paper. On it, a group of 10 people, possibly Comanches, stand in three rows. The women are in the back two rows, and the men are in the front row. The people are dressed in colorful long robes and pants-mostly reds, blues, and yellows. In front of the people are three tipis, one with axes and dismembered hands and feet on it, and the other with stick figures drawn on it.

a. Only one is rendered in monochrome.
b. Only one is rendered on lined notebook paper.
c. Only one of the works includes a landscape scene.
d. Tipis appear in both works.

b. In both works, the figures are rendered in profile.
c. In only one, the costumes are rendered as flat fields of color and pattern.
d. The figures cast shadows on the ground in both works.
