RALPH ALBERT BLAKELOCK
The Canoe, Late Afternoon.

Oil on artist's board. 215x265 mm; 81/2x101/2 inches. Signed in red oil, lower right recto. Ex-collection Green, according to an early label on the verso; and M. A. Newhouse & Son, St. Louis, with their label on the frame back. Scattered edge scuffs and some edge losses, most significant at lower left corner.

Blakelock traveled through the West between 1869 and 1872, from California through Mexico, Panama and the West Indies, and lived among Native Americans during some part of these travels.

Possibly a study for the larger version of this subject which sold at Sotheby's, New York, 1983.
