- Lot Description
Charles M. Russell (1864 – 1926)
Indian Family [Male]
bronze
5.25 inches high
inscribed on base: C M Russell [artist cipher] © 1915 B. Zoppo. Foundry. N.Y.
In Charles M. Russell, Sculptor, Rick Stewart wrote that “In his notes on the Indian Family subject, derived from his conversation with the Russells, George Sack [a collector of Russell bronzes] identified the man and woman as members of the Gros Ventre tribe. He further noted that the ‘proud and happy mother’ was holding her infant son, securely held in a cradle board, towards the sunlight. Cradles were made of animal hide stretched over a board frame, with a fur-lined pocket with rawhide-reinforced sides attached to it to hold the infant. The faint design visible on the upper part of the board is consistent with a large, stylized decoration type apparently derived from eastern Canadian sources. Opposite the mother and her child, ‘the father is contentedly dreaming of the time when his young son will make a great name for himself and possibly become a chief of one of the societies, or a Medicine Man.’
