Im on vacation in Florida and stopped at a favorite antique store on the way down and picked this up. Does anyone know who the chief is? Has a small rip in it but watched a video on how to repair it looks easy. Artists name is Russell and that’s about all I know. Any help on the history of it would be nice. Thank you

I couldn't find anything about your artist, but I did find a couple identical paintings (just different color backgrounds) by a guy named J.Ruxton...just says the piece is titled "The Chief", no info about who the chief is and/or if it was an actual person.

I found 4 or 5 artist with the last name Russell (none of them signed their work the same way as yours)...the most famous probably being C.M Russell, or Charles Marion Russell. He did a lot of Native American Indian work, but he has a very different signature and style. Most of the C.M Russell paintings I've seen are just as much about the landscape in the background as they are about the people in the foreground.

I was hoping they were the same person but C Russell is different from just Russell from what I can see. It’s still a nice painting and what I paid wouldn’t cover the frame. Going in my man cave. Thanks for the help

I will look him up I hope you didn’t stay up all night looking but yes I bought it in Florida so it’s very possible a Spanish person painted it

I looked him up never did find the same pic by Russell so it might be a Repro and a no name artist but still a nice painting thanks for the help and now we know the chief

Well thanks for all the great information about my painting. I’m still in Florida for the moment. Probably leaving in a day or so. It was a nice visit but they like their warm temperatures. Air gets set at 78 and heat gets set at 77 I’m sweating to death be nice to get back home 😃NW Georgia,

Well it’s not Charles Marion Russell .. an originalcan sell for over a million .
I checked the signiture and he signs his full name in most pieces and like some artists puts a little fun mark .
His can be a skull buffalo .
ill look around but matching the signiture is the first start .
Any dates on the back . It’s it canvas with oil . I know lots of questions can come up but it helps .
very nice find and I want to help .

I didn’t see anything else but Russell on it not even a first name of any kind. I don’t think it’s rare but somebody had some talent. I’m back home and survived Atlanta once again on 75. Only 1 back up didn’t go the bypass due to all of the big trucks I know they have to go bypass, thanks TamNW Georgia,
