Featured in this lot is a Rare Signed Howard Terpning "Chief Joseph Rides To Surrender", Giclée on Canvas, Limited Edition, 163/225. "Chief Joseph Rides to Surrender" is a famous painting depicting the iconic moment in 1877 when the Nez Perce leader, Chief Joseph, rode to surrender his rifle to U.S. Army General Nelson Miles, ending the Nez Perce War near the Bear Paw Mountains in Montana and just short of safety in Canada. The wonderfully and professionally crafted Giclée on canvas artwork captures the profound sadness, dignity, and desperation of Chief Joseph and his people as their long, strategic retreat ended, marking the end of their traditional way of life, a poignant scene he memorialized with his famous words, "I will fight no more forever".
