The lot features a unique and unusual hand painted original work of art portrait of a Canadian Blackfeet (Blackfoot) Native American Indian. The piece shows early original paints and was done on a hand hewn piece of heavy hardwood. The portrait does not appear to be singed. This has the likeness of many of the great portrait painters of the Old West such as George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Ace Powell, H.H. Cross, Thomas McKenney, James Hall, Edgar Paxson, Olaf Wieghorst, and Seth Eastman. The piece is from a prominent French Native American Indian artifact and weapon collection. Measures 5.25"x7.25".
