Antique Old West Native American Indian Chief Portrait Oil Painting, 1906

This is a wonderful and very early Antique Old West Native American Indian Chief Portrait Oil Painting on canvas, depicting a Plains Indian chief with a feathered headdress (possibly Sioux), holding up his arm and looking out on the horizon, possibly greeting someone in the distance. A long rifle is slung across his saddle in front of him, and he sits atop a stoic brown horse.

In the distance, a desert vista can be seen. This work is annotated, dated and signed on the verso: 1907... Unfortunately, the writing is very faded from age and the names are illegible to me.

Perhaps you know more about the artist or their work? Approximately 18 1/2 x 22 1/2 inches including frame. Actual artwork is approximately 16 x 20 inches. Good condition for over a century of age, with a few small tears and scuffs to the canvas please see photos. This very early Western Americana painting is priced to sell.

Acquired in Southern Texas, United States. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer. Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!
