Skunk Unknowingly Sharing Bear’s Watermelon [SOLD]

Paul Vigil is the son of famous Tesuque Pueblo artist Tomas Vigil (1889-1960).  He primarily paints single figure pueblo dancers and animals.  In this painting, he shows a contented brown bear that has fallen asleep after filling himself with watermelon.  While he naps, a skunk helps himself to the watermelon.

The painting is signed in lower right and dated 1962.  It is double-matted with acid-free mats and framed in an oak-color wood frame.

Condition: appears to be in original condition but has not been examined out of the frame.  It is framed using acid-free mats so it is probably in original condition.

Provenance: from a gentleman in California
