Original Watercolor & Ink by Olaf Wieghorst
Depicting Indian profile with headdress and another headdress with portrait below it. Hand signed lower middle corner. Image measures 8" x 9 7/8" in mat and beautiful gold gilt frame. By the mid-twenties, Wieghorst was in New York City, working as a mounted policeman - his relationships with the many horses that were a part of his life became the common denominator of his paintings. Living in California by the end of WWII, he began a career that spiraled to success, in part due to his engaging personality. His paintings have appeared in numerous solo & retrospective exhibitions including the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City (1974), The Tucson Museum of Art, Arizona (1981), & the San Diego Historical Society, California (2002).
