 painting is estimated to have been created approximately 1920; (just after WWI, when the artist settled in Northern California, in San Francisco). The tribe is likely Ohlone / Costanoan. The painting measures approximately 14" X 20" and is signed on the lower right. The painting has had some light restoration from pin dots of missing paint. There are still some tiny blemishes and tiny impressions which are deeper in the canvas. The painting may still need some minor restoration.
