Russell, Charles (1864-1926) The Hold Up Litho
For your consideration is this Charles Russell lithograph called "The Hold Up" (1864-1926). Russell's sense of humor is in overdrive on this one as he paints the face of his best friend, Con Price, on the holdup man. The rest of the characters depicted in this lithograph represent the population of the west as a famous stage holdup near Deadwood, South Dakota. Charles M. Russell, Montana's most famous artist and, along with Frederic Remington, one of the two most famous artists ever to paint the West, was born in St. Louis, Missouri on March 19, 1864. He came to Montana in 1880, at the age of 16, just four years after Custer's fatal last stand at the Little Big Horn. The condition of this framed Russell lithograph is good, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this framed lithograph are 11 3/4" x 16 1/2" and the visible art measures 8" x 12 3/4".
