Acrylic Painting on Tile of a Male Figure [SOLD]

I was never aware that Helen Hardin ever executed one of her paintings on a small clay surface, but here is one, and maybe the only one in existence.  The image is very similar to an acrylic painting on artist board entitled “Portrait of Man" by Helen Hardin.  There is no title on the tile unless it is on the back of the tile which is not visible since it is framed. The tile is dated 1972.

Condition: appear to be in original condition

Provenance:  From the collection of Sonwai (Verma Nequatewa), Hopi-Tewa jeweler, niece of Charles Loloma.
