Featured in this lot is a chromolithograph of the E. Irving Couse 1904 painting, "Roasting Corn", ca. 1930s, artist's signature noted at the bottom left corner. Eanger Irving Couse (1866 – 1936) was a prominent American artist early in the 20th century and a founding member and first president of the Taos Society of Artists, and is best known for his paintings of Native Americans, New Mexico, and the American Southwest. Couse was one of the six founding members of the Taos Society of Artists, and was elected first president. Elk-Foot of the Taos Indians, a Pueblo tribe, whose anglicized name was Jerry Mirabal, began posing for Couse in 1907 and was one of the painters favorite subjects because of his "physical beauty and ideal features." "Elk-Foot of the Taos Tribe", painted in the summer of 1909, is considered Couse's masterwork and is now displayed in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This chromolithograph is in good overall condition, very light scuffing noted to frame edges, no other obvious marring noted. Visible art measures 6"W x 8.5"L, frame is 7"W x 9"L x .50"D
