Original Painting of a Taos Pueblo Man [R]

The striking individual in this painting stares out from what seems to be ruins with Taos Mountain in the background. Although known for his New Mexico landscapes, Von Hassler was also a well accomplished portrait painter. He was fascinated by the native people of New Mexico. His attention to detail and the blending of colors have produced an intense image of a Taos native. Von Hassler was known for his unique blending of colors and his special formula that kept the colors alive over time. This painting seems as fresh as if it was painted yesterday.

It is a stunning portrait in excellent condition. Undated.

Provenance: Exhibited at the “Santa Fe Tribute to Carl Von Hassler” June 2009 at adobe gallery santa fe.
