FREDERIC REMINGTON (American 1861-1909)
A Mexican Buccaro - In Texas, circa 1890
Oil on canvas
21-1/2 x 17-1/2 inches (54.6 x 44.4 cm)
Signed lower left: Frederic Remington

Provenance:
Newhouse Galleries (New York);
Mr. And Mrs. F. Howard Walsh (Fort Worth, Texas);
Walsh Family Art Trust (Fort Worth, Texas)

Literature:
Harby, Lee C. "Texan Types And Contrasts", Harper's New Monthly Magazine (vol. 81, issue 482, July 1980, p. 241)

In 1881, Frederic Remington set off for the vast territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and veered north to Montana and the Dakotas armed with the goal of recording the people he encountered there as well as a vanishing way of life. His subsequent work as an illustrator for Harper's New Monthly Magazine depended upon this initial trove of highly detailed imagery, and in 1885 he was sent back West by the magazine editors to record Native American conflicts and capture in paint a feeling for life in the southwest. Within a decade, Remington became the dean of Western illustrators, just as the "Wild West" was vanishing forever.

Painted circa 1890 The Mexican Buccaro - in Texas is an outstanding example of Remington's illustration style, which captured the imagination of the reading public. This painting was featured in the July 1890 issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine, and accompanied an article entitled "Texan Types and Contrasts" by Lee C. Harby. The text sketched a romanticized portrait of the Mexican life in Texas, and waxed poetic on subjects ranging from spicy and flavorful Mexican foods to the dignified and passionate demeanors of the Mexican people. While Harby acknowledged that numerous nationalities contributed to the colorful tableaux of Texan life, all of Remington's illustrations, by contrast, depict only Mexicans. Remington showed them engaged in a range of activities, which was the primary focus of the article.

Provenance:
Forest Fenn;

The painting features Jerry Mirabel (also known as Elk Foot and Túmenah), who was Sharp's favorite model and close friend. Over the course of the period 1913-1949, Mirabel posed for numerous portraits and scenes depicting tribal rituals. He died in 1980 at the age of 110. According to Forest Fenn, upon Mirabel's death "the Indians went into mourning and the pueblo was closed to all outsiders for three days" (The Beat of the Drum and the Whoop of the Dance: A Study of the Life and Work of Joseph Henry Sharp [Sante Fe, New Mexico, Fenn Publishing Company, 1983], p. 237).

Sharp established a reputation for his ability to render the distinctive facial features of the various tribes he pictured, as well as their individual costumes, artifacts and ceremonies. He created numerous half-length portraits of Native American men standing in three-quarter profile attired in feather bonnets and hide clothing. Sarah E. Boehme has noted that in these and related portraits beadwork and 'other characteristics of Indian design are evident on the clothing, but details are softened because Sharp painted

CHARLES MARION RUSSELL (American 1864-1926)
Nancy Cooper Russell's Wedding Ring, circa 1896
24K Gold
Approximately ring size 6

Provenance:
Jack Russell, gifted by Charles Russell in 1925;
Mrs. Jack Russell, Jack Russell's wife;
Bill Reynolds, 1970

Designed by Charles Russell and cast from a gold nugget, this distinctively Western piece of jewelry was made as a wedding ring for his wife Nancy Cooper. Cast in the shape of a western saddle, the ring is likely one of the first three-dimensional sculptural works ever produced by the artist, and therefore possibly instrumental in his introduction to the sculptural medium. Spurred by Nancy's devoted support and promotion, in 1898, just two years after their marriage, Russell cast his first bronze at the Roman Bronze Works in New York, a move that would lead Russell to become one of the greatest Western artists in history.

The ring is accompanied by a signed affidavit by Charles Russell's son, Jack Russell. The illustrated affidavit is photocopied, however the date and original final signature are in Jack Russell's hand, in black ink. The ring is mounted in a custom-made leather clamshell case. The text of the affidavit reads in full

Dear Reader,

My father Charles M. Russell met my mother Nancy Cooper in Cascade Montana. She was living with the Roberts family. After a courtship Charlie proposed to Nancy, and to his surprize (sic) and relief she accepted. Charlie had little money, but much imagination, he took to her a ring duplicating his stock saddle. They were married at the Roberts home, in a small private ceremony. I was just a kid when Dad died. I'll never forget when Dad gave me the saddle ring. Charlie had a small shack or bunkhouse out back, which he used as a studio. This is where I believe the Russell saddle ring was made by my father. I do remember this much...the ring was made out of wax and cast into gold. The ring was an engagement or wedding gift. Jack Russell
