Santa Clara Pueblo Original Painting “Santo Domingo Meal” [SOLD]

This painting was purchased by the current owners in 1977.  It is an extraordinary painting.  Notice the phenomenal stippling of the background, a technique not easily accomplished in an even manner.  Hardin was one of the few artists who mastered the technique.  The pair of birds is presented in a somewhat modernist manner but easily recognizable as are the plants in the foreground. 

Condition: original excellent condition

Provenance: from a collector of Native paintings in Albuquerque
