Offered in this lot we have a Goodridge-call lumber co. C M Russell painting calendar from 1911. Charles Marion Russell, born March 19th, 1864 in St. Louis Missouri and died on October 24, 1926 in Great Falls Montana.

This piece shows the C M Russell painting "The Cinch Ring" depicting two cowboys trying unsuccessfully to brand a calf. Both the cowboys are in mid action, one reloading his rifle, the other is prone reaching for his pistol with a red hot brand in front of him near a small fire. The painting is framed with a off white border featuring dark gold lettering reading "compliments of Goodridge- Call Lumber Co. Retail Lumber" with a calendar below the painting showing the January Calendar, the top reading "1910 January 1910".
