Trying to determine artist
I inherited what I assume is a water color of what appears to be of an unknown calvryman seated at a table with a bottle of wine, smoking a cigarette. The uniform is all red with white cuffs/collar & buttonline. The eppalets appear to be white. Hes wearing boots with knee high shin guards. The signature is a circle with two C's, the first in reverse and the second regular, with a dot inbetween, from a distance it looks like an X or a fancy H. Also the painting date is 1900. My husbands great uncle was a general who owned. I would really like to know anymore info on this artist. Thank you.

Charles Russell print
I believe it is a print. I got it some years back. It is a black and white sketch of cowboys with their horses ready to ambush a stagecoach. Is this worth anything?

"Lost" Charlie Russell Drawing
I'm looking for a very special pencil drawing done by Charlie for my dad when my dad was just a kid.

What makes this drawing special is that it was DONE ON THE BACK OF one of my dad's grade-school Thanksgiving art assignments.


[[][*]][[][*]][[][*]] This particular drawing of Charlie was of INDIANS WAVING A GREETING TO SAILORS ABOARD A SHIP. ...and was a casual lesson/response to my dad's drawing of the same Indian-European meeting.

My dad was a young friend of Charlie's (Charlie used to sit in the seating section reserved for the engineer's family ...my granddad was the engineer). My dad was himself drawn to art while sitting on Charlie's lap as Charlie drew during the ride. Dad subsequently took his own childhood art to Charlie for a critique. Charlie gladly obliged and always wove a story in with his critique.

Thus this Russell drawing was born. Most likely, the current owner of this original Russell drawing has no idea that the "real original" is young boy's drawing hidden on the backside of Charlie's drawing.

I am a fairly beat up Vietnam War infantryman (disabled) who would be hugely grateful to be able to see this drawing before I die. Can anyone out there please help me find this special Russell/young boy collaboration?

Sincerely

Former Infantry Sgt. Robert E. Jewell

The Joy of Life with the revealing teepee flap...
We recently came across this copy of the bawdy Russell piece, that my uncle bought when I was 12 and we were on a trip in Montana. The seller made us swear we weren't locals before he would sell it to us.

He told us that Charlie's wife Nancy had destroyed almost every painting of his like this, but this one had been hidden in the Mint or the Silver Dollar Bar in Great Falls and survived.

We'd like to have it appraised, if someone can direct us to a good appraiser of Russell's work.

Thanks!

2) Discovery of Last Chance Gulch, also known as Paydirt, is in the collection of the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, OK.
3)The "painting" of an Indian seeing the future and past is a pen & ink drawing titled "The Last of His Race" in the C.M. Russell Museum collection. Contact them about prints.

"I Rode Him
I have a C.M. Russell picture that I believe might be an original sketch or perhaps a water colour. It has a picture in the forefront of a cowboy standing without a hat and around his waist is a sash that trails to the ground. In the background (but still quite large) is a goat with a saddle on it and a cowboy hat is at its left hind hoof. It is signed in original hand writing as follows:
I rode him-your Dad;
To - Craig
Herb Jackson
Ray (or Reg)Jackson
E.E. Maining
Dick Milford, Calgary Stampeders
There is also another signature that I cannot make out.
In smaller print in capital letters at the very bottom of the picture it says:
1st line:FROM THE BRUSH OF C.M. RUSSELL, THE FAMOUS COWBOY ARTIST
2nd line: COMPLIMENTS OF B.P.O.E. NO. 214, GREAT FALLS, MONTANA

If anyone knows anything about this picture I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so very much.

answer to Kenneth Klimpel
Dear Kenneth- I have 2 of cast bronze grizzley bears. They have a hump on the back of their neck. I have been searching the web for over 3hrs. Yours is the first mention of Russell bears I have found. I took mine to an antique store today. There were signed C. Russellalong the bottom of their back leg. They are in a sitting pose. The dealer thought they looked real, but admitted he was not an expert on the subject. They are sitting on small marble circles, very dark with light streaks in it. He was certain that the marble was old. I did find a place called
Bronze Gallery on the web which makes reproductions, but they started out in 1999. They also come with a small gold colored metal plaque
on the marble, which mine do not have. I purchased mine, I have 2, at an estate auction in 1981. I would really like to know thrie worth and when they were made. I will keep looking. They are small, about 3" highand the marble circle is about that in diameter. If yours are like mine, please email anything you may find out. It would be much appreciated. Sincerely,

cm russell

My grandfather had bought it many years ago, and he cant quite remember where, and just recently we began to wonder if it could be an original.. because if you feel it you can feel the layers of paint used on it.

The other is of 7 cowboys sprinting at full gallop down a hill with still more at the top of the hill. One of the cowboys going down the hill is falling off his horse. That one is dated 1878 or 1898 I can't really tell which but I belive it is the later. Anyone have any idea about these prints and what they are called?

How do you know original versus print

Charles M. Russell
Determining authentic bronze CMR Sculptures - if it is mounted on a marble base, it is almost certainly a recast. Examples of popular recasts can be found online.
Charlie's wife was Nancy Cooper Russell (1878 - 1940), NOT a Native American, and they were married Sept 9, 1896. Nancy was only 17 when she met CMR in 1895.
MANY of Russell's original paintings were made available as fine quality prints on canvas and then overlaid with gesso to simulate brushstrokes. Small dots are the giveaway to these works and a jeweler's loupe of 10x will show these lithography marks quite well. Because of the popularity of Russell's work, it has been widely copied and reproduced worldwide.

I know Charlie Russell had a Native American wife. What was her name?

Trapper on horseback encounter with cougar
I recently returned from a trip to England with a sculpture (bronze)and I have been unable to find anything like it on the internet. It is approximately 12 inches tall. The trapper or mountain man is riding a horse that has read up on his hind legs, with rifle in one hand over his head, while a snarling cougar has one front paw on the trappers foot. It is signed Russell with the skull of a steer or buffalo next to his name. If anyone knows anything about this piece please contact me.

C. Russell Question
WE have a litho (T.C.M. Co) on right of a litho by C. Russel but the signature is a skull with 1898 (we think). Entitled The Buffalo Hunt but it does not look like The Buffalo hunt from 1919 I see on the internet. There is no Buffalo running down the hill. It is difficult to see but the skull and date SEEM to be in pencil ?? (this is framed with glass). Could this be a signed litho? I cannot find another picture exactly like this anywhere on the internet by him.. is it rare? It has 2 native americans on horseback on right running, buffalo in center with a calf in the lead almost and 3 native americans on right running. Anything anyone can tell us is greatly appreciated.

Russell Painting
My wife's father (long dead) went to Great Falls in the sixties and bought an original (so we thought) Russell painting. Tim Gordon (an appraiser) says look for dots and if so then it is a print. I looked and I did see what looked like dots (God, I'm such a rookie at this art thing). The painting depicts the four Georgians discovery of Gold in Last Chance Gulch,Helena Montana. My wife is a Helena native. If it is a print, then its a good one. There is no printer signature or anything. Isn't that illegal??? A person can make a print of an artwork without saying somewhere that it is not an original. Wow, I am so confused over all this----can anyone help me---HELP HELP---GEEEEEZE

Need help to date
I bought an oldish charles Russell " the texas Steer"
There is no foundry mark on it but it has the usual russell initials and steer head. It is mounted on a very heavy green marble base, which I removed to see if there were any marks. The brass old plate on the base says simply "By Russell" I have a hunch this was done or sold in NYC around the late 60's or early 70's. Does anyone recognize that kind of base and who sold it. Both Tiffanys and some man whose name started with H did castings about that time. It clearly is not new and just as clearly is not marked with a foundry mark Help. Thanks.

I have something signed C. M. Russell. I do not know if it is a painting or a print. All I know on the back says Indian Trek and that it is on wood. It also has a date of 1896. I do not believe it is an original but would like to find out more about it.
