Massive and visually striking original oil-on-canvas painting, 76 x 48, by noted western artist Don Perceval. Commissioned in 1965 by Tombstone historian John Gilchriese for the Wyatt Earp Museum in Tombstone, Arizona, this marvelous painting shows the final moments of the famous gunfight, spilling out onto Fremont Street, with the locations of the men involved depicted with remarkable accuracy. At the center are the Earp brothers—Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan—all three with their weapons raised, and Doc Holiday, holding both a revolver and a shotgun. Two fallen cowboys are visible, one lying on the street corner, and the other only partially visible behind the small hut, and a third is shown attempting to mount his horse and flee the scene. Also visible in the image is Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan, hiding behind a wall. Signed in the lower right in black paint by Perceval. In very fine condition.
Raised in Los Angeles, the British-born Don Perceval attended the Pasadena Military Academy and Chouinard Art Institute, and found a deep connection with Southwestern and American Indian culture early in his life. Taking sketching trips to the deserts of Arizona in his teens, he began developing the style for which is now best remembered. His work can be found in several museums, and over the last twenty years has seen a resurgence in popularity. An excellent opportunity to own one of his most desirable pieces, capturing a legendary event in Tombstone’s storied history.
