VTG CM RUSSELL FRAMED EARLY AMERIAN INDIAN VILLAGE

C.M. Russell Early American Indian village titled, "The Silk Robe" is a wood framed and matted print, under glass depicting vibrantly colored teepees and details of normal early American Indians life. It is a wonderful estate find. Which I believe is a lithograph, but is listed as "Print" since I cannot "definitely" determine it is a "lithograph", so, you be the judge. The original Oil painting was created in 1890, displayed in the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. It is lightly signed in the lower left hand corner, and a lower right hand a copyright mark, which is not fully seen, it was cut off during framing. The Frame and Print is in great vintage condition, consistent with age and usage. Approx. Measurements: Frame: 17.5" L x 13.5" H Print: 12" L x 9" H Born Charles Marion Russell, in St. Louis and raised in Montana, Russell was fascinated by the stories of the American West.

His paintings and sculptures were characterized by their attention to detail and realism, and they often depicted the rugged beauty of the West, as well as the struggles of the people who lived there. He was also a storyteller and a writer, and he often wrote about the people and places he depicted in his art. He was also a passionate conservationist.
