Artist: Mead Schaeffer (1898-1980)

Description: Scene in a saloon... soldier propositioned by dance hall girl.

Caption: “'It's kind of you,' he said quietly. 'It's more than kind, but I've spent my last coin.'”

Publication information: Story illustration for “The Chisholm Trail” by Borden Chase, serialized in The Saturday Evening Post starting in 1946. This piece is from the first installment of the story.

Medium: Oil on board

Size: 21 x 16”

Signature: signed lower right.

Condition: Excellent, recently cleaned. Tastefully framed.

Comment: While Schaeffer's most closely associated with his lush painterly illustrations of the 1920's, this piece is from a period of his career in which he was combining the composition of the earlier work with the more precise approach of his later career. A copy of the magazine is included with the purchase, with this appearing as a full-page illustration on page 11. I've just realized that the continuation of the story toward the back of the magazine has been torn out... wish I could remember where I bought the magazine.

Price: $5,400
