The works by Russell that the Russell museum would rather not acknowledge!
This is a great item, rare and unusual. Entitled "Anticipation
and Exasperation" on the nameplate, this Charles Russell image depicts a
cowboy on his horse with an Indian squaw in the distance. When you insert the provided key
into the slot on the front nameplate, the lithograph opens to reveal another Russell
image. This image depicts the cowboy off his horse cavorting with the Indian maiden.
Though Russell was known for his western oils, and this is not signed, there is
documentation from Petersen Galleries in Beverly Hills attached stating that these are
copies of Russell's paintings. These were sold in 1975 as a limited edition of 950, at a
cost at that time of $350 each. This x-rated bit of western Americana measures
17"x24", and is in very good condition. It is a great conversation piece and
would be just the perfect gift for the man who has everything.
