Old West & Native American Auction
Lot 1443:
Description
20th-century Western art, featuring a stunning print often referred to as “The End of the Trail,” popularized by James Earle Fraser’s iconic sculpture. The image depicts a Native American rider on horseback, looking downward with a spear, silhouetted against a dramatic, mountainous sunset or sunrise background. The print is housed in its original or period-appropriate wood frame, showcasing a simple yet elegant profile that complements the artwork’s subject matter. The print itself appears to be a color lithograph or offset print from a magazine, valued for its historical and aesthetic connection to the romanticized American frontier. Visible condition issues include expected age-related toning, slight fading to the print colors, and significant deterioration to the brown paper backing on the lower frame, suggesting age. Wood frame shows surface wear, minor nicks, and patina appropriate for its age. H 14.5″, W 18.5″, D 1″. From the Western display in Donley’s Wild West Town.
