Featured in this lot we have the preliminary graphite on paper drawing of the Charles Dye painting titled "Comanche" originating from 1966. Charles Dye (1906-1972) was an American artist and painter known for his depictions of cowboys running down or branding cattle and fictional scenes of the old west. The drawing is a preliminary graphite rendition of the painting "Comanche". The piece depicts a group a Native American braves all on horseback as they crest over a small hill.

The back also shows envelopes with information on previous auctions where the Comanche painting sold for over $32,000. Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection and collected by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector Bruce also was the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman which was both part museum and gallery. The drawing shows good condition overall with little to no wear across the piece. The frame measures 37 1/4" wide by 31 1/2" tall with the art measuring 28" wide by 21 1/2" tall.
