Sarah, Portrait of
Mrs. Jonas Two Young Men
by Catharine
Robb Whyte
oil on canvas 1931
Catharine and Peter Whyte traded this
painting for a grizzly skin from Norman Luxton's store
in 1932. In a letter from Catharine Whyte to her mother
on May 20, 1932, Catharine wrote: "The Depression isn't
too bad out here. I traded a picture for a grizzly skin
and it was pretty exciting. Pete was at Mr. Luxton's
store and saw the grizzly skin there. He had just gotten
it from the Indians. It's a perfect beauty and the
biggest skin ... Mr. Luxton had said last year he wished
he could afford to buy my picture of Mrs. Jonie because
he knows her among the best of the
Indians." |
