This striking hand-painted artwork on wood board brings a bold sense of rustic Americana to any space. The piece features a detailed portrait of a Native American chief, his face rendered with expressive care and framed by a traditional feathered headdress and vivid garments in shades of crimson, gold, and turquoise. Surrounding the portrait are four trompe l’oeil playing cards – the Ace of Spades, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts, and Ace of Clubs – cleverly painted to create the illusion of actual cards casually resting atop the wood surface. This playful, saloon-inspired detail adds a whimsical yet nostalgic layer to the composition, blending elements of frontier-era folklore with classic folk art tradition. Dating to circa 1900, it is artist signed toward the bottom. Measures 20.25 inches high, 14.25 inches wide, and 0.75 inch deep. There is a hook at the top for wall display. Good antique condition with light signs of age-related wear. Please review the photos for further condition assessment. The artwork is presented within a deeply weathered, rustic wood frame that complements the warm patina and aged character of the painted board. The frame’s rough-hewn texture and natural imperfections enhance the authentic, timeworn charm of the piece. Ideal for lodge-style interiors, Western-themed rooms, or game rooms in need of a distinctive accent, this unique painting captures both the spirit of vintage tavern art and the enduring appeal of handcrafted Americana.
