Featured in this lot is a limited edition bronze sculpture by Philip R. Goodwin titled, "Sitting Bear". Philip Russell Goodwin's natural born talent for illustration became evident very early on and by age eleven he had already sold works to Collier's magazine. Goodwin studied under Howard Pyle at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia from 1899-1900. He agreed to his master's belief that an artist should spend time in the environment which he is illustrating. Goodwin also studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Students League in New York. Goodwin's illustrations were published in magazines such as Harper's Monthly and Harper's Weekly, Scribner's and celebrated books such as "Call of the Wild" by Jack London and "African Game Trails" by Theodore Roosevelt. The sculpture depicts a bear sitting on his back legs on a small rock as he looks into the distance with curious eyes. The bronze reads, "Goodwin" at the base. The bronze sits on a fine marble base with green felt underneath it. The front of the marble base has a good colored metal tag that reads, "Sitting Bear, A limited Edition, Philip R. Goodwin". The bronze shows good condition and has been repaired. It measures 6" L x 4 3/8" W x 3 1/8" H.
