RALPH ALBERT BLAKELOCK Forest Pond and Indians.

This painting has been authenticated by Dr. Norman Geske and is catalogued by the University of Nebraska Inventory as NBI-898, Category II, with the inventory label affixed to the verso, and with a copy of the original letter from Dr. Geske, dated July 12, 1976.
As described in the accompanying letter, Category II consists of, "Paintings whose technical and stylistic features compare favorably with those of Category I, but which do not have a complete history of ownership." The letter also states that, "There is visible evidence in the composition, color and in particular, the handling of the pigment which compare very favorable with authentic examples of the artist's work."
