Provenance:
|
This was painted for my grandfather, Steve Marmon, owner of the Star Ranch at Wolf Point Montana and first sheriff of the North Dakota Territory.Standing's children drew lines on the back of the painting and used it as a checker board until Steve picked it up. (See image.) Steve knew William Standing from the 1930's until both died at the beginning of the 1950's. The painting has always been in my family.

Literature:

The following is from Donald James Baughman, a Full Member of the Antique Tribal Art Dealer Association, writer for discovery.com Appraiser Corner, and owner of the Flathead Gallery:
Standing is best known for his humorous sketches published as postcards, and he was also adept in oil, watercolor, and clay. During the 1930's WPA period in collaboration with James Long he produced a book, THE LAND OF THE NAKODA. This volume, is an in-depth sketch study of the Assiniboine tribe.
