| Commentary |
The first original sculpture to enter the Portland Art Museum's collections.
Thomas Smith, Director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art ant the Denver Art Museum, viewed this sculpture on 3/19/12 and noted the following: ...the work was probably not cast by Gorham or Roman, but rather, most likely by Jno. Williams, Inc. He noted that the PAM version has a more orange-red patina than the Gorham and Roman works, which tend to have a more greenish-brown patina. J. Harper 3/7/13 |
