Sioux White Eagle by CH Hickox

[annsnowberger]

Greetings!

Can anyone help me identify the artist or subject of this painting?

It is an oil painting on canvas board signed by CH Hickox. A tag on the back written by the artist reads: Sioux White Eagle C H Hickox

Thank you for any help!

Yours,
Ann

More info: Painting thought to be done prior to 1930. Possibly between 1880 and 1902.

Ann,

It appears you must have found the Mother Earth News page while searching for the artist.

There was a Lakota named White Eagle who was killed during the hilltop fight at the Little Bighorn, but I doubt it is him.

This is most likely the artist's interpretation of a Sioux.
