Offered in this lot we have a Chief Joseph oil on canvas painting by Linda Compton. The painting depicts Chief Joseph with cliff side waterfalls in the background by Linda Compton in 1986.

The Nez Perce successfully evaded the government soldiers for three months in 1877 before finally surrendering. This painting is in good condition overall. The piece measures 25" wide by 31 1/4" tall.
