Birds-all-over-the-ground

This is probably the portrait of a Crow chief exhibited at the Fishel, Adler & Schwartz Gallery in New York in December 1906. It appears also in Sharp's sales ledgers for March 10, 1906. (Sharp Papers)  Perhaps Butler allowed Sharp to exhibit the portrait before delivering it to him.
