This is an original Bill Gebhart oil on board painting titled "The Last of 5000". Gebhart was a Pendroy and Conrad, Montana artist. The piece was painted in the style of Charles Russell in 1938. It is believed that Gebhart painted this while viewing the original painting, which was done by C.M. Russell around 1922. Russell's original was held at the estate of Nancy Russell until it was sold in C.R. Smith, president of American Airlines. The painting by Russell was from a sketch made in the 1880's. This is a wonderful piece of Montana history and could be the closest to the original Russell painting as one can get. The piece is in good condition. The frame measures 13" x 18.75".
