Original pencil on paper drawing of a Native American Indian warrior on horseback, 10" by 8" (14" by 12" framed), signed at lower left by listed Montana artist SANDY INGERSOLL (1908-1989).

A framed nicely worked crayon on paper drawing of roses (possibly, Alberta wild roses?), signed at lower right "M R 1944". The stiff wove paper sheet measures 15" by 11", and as framed (to the top of the arch), 22" by 17". The framing appears to be the 1940's original. I acquired the work locally here in Los Angeles some years back. The initials "M R" and the disciplined way the letters and numbers were formed caused me to think the work possibly by major artist Man Ray (1890-1976), who did...

A vintage drawing in brown and sepia colored pencil, featuring the ruins of the historic old Tumacacori Mission between Tucson and Nogales, Arizona, signed "Marjorie Hardaway", titled and dated 1946. The work is by a talented artist of the day who appears to be not recorded. The mission on the Santa Cruz River was started by the Spanish in the late 1700's and by the early years of the 19th century had already been replaced and enlarged. Most of what we see today had already been erected by 18...

This 6 1/4" by 10" ink drawing on paper (11 1/2" by 13 3/4" as framed) is titled at lower left "Garden of Sounds" and is signed at lower right "STANDISH" and dated "52" I believe. It's a subtle work that does not take well to being photographed, (and I've had to enhance--darken--the photos a bit to make it easier to appreciate on a screen) but, viewed in person, it is quite an impressive and delicate work that reminds one somewhat of some of the drawings by Paul Klee. There are incredibly comp...

Drawing on paper executed in soft pencil, 7" by 8 1/4", essentially unframed (in a protective frame only), the subject an arid desert landscape butte under a crescent moon, the drawing signed at lower left "ARCH SINCLAIR". There is a listing for an Archie Sinclair (1895-), a student of Henry Keller. Sinclair is listed in many reference works. He is said to be associated with Oregon, so, this might be a scene from the dry eastern part of that state. Evidently he worked in the east as well. T...

The paper has yellowed with time, and the area under the present mat is a different shade from the exposed area, so ...

This is a superb charcoal on paper drawing laid to an old board, signed at upper right (look carefully to find it, in the final photo) Ernest W. Scanes. The paper measures 17" by 22". I would date the work to the 1930's or 1940's, judging from the excellent WPA regionalism style. Indeed, this greatly resembles a number of "AAA" (Associated American Artists) lithograph prints of the period. Scanes is best known as a Michigan artist, certainly a Midwest artist, but also, due to his illustratio...
