This "pencil" is "Chief Wolf Robe," a noble Cheyenne who was drawn using a photograph for reference taken by photographer, Frank A. Rinehart in 1898. This is the second of three pieces I am donating to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. They will be auctioned off on the 25th of September in Cody, Wyoming. The other two pieces will be larger obscure portrait of William F. Cody and "The Three Ubertis," which is posted here in my portfolio.

This is the second version I have done which has considerably more detail. This pencil piece is larger than I do most of my "Western Artwork." The overall size is 18" x 12". It is drawn on heavy weight, hot press Crescent Illustration Board. German made Faber-Castell Drawing Pencils were used. The majority of the "pencil" was done with a #6 lead, while the remainder was darkened with a #8 lead and compressed charcoal.
