Subject: Skunk Unknowingly Sharing Bear’s Watermelon
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
