Cigar Store Indian Vignette, with Details of Each Piece

19th Century Tobacconist Figure
In rarely encountered-original nineteenth century paint...
Probably New York City
Anonymous
The surface integrity of this figure is without compromise...having only the typical rubs and minor surface losses. The patina is excellent as is overall condition. There is the often-encountered tight fissure on her back that was filled and colored many years ago; caused by shrinkage and a very narrow fissure on her left proper cheek. This terrific example stands at 5-feet.
Price: $39,500
