Shorty White Grass; [Fine Bull]

There are no known sales or exhibition records that list such a title, Fine Bull. This canvas appears to have been painted around 1903 or 1904 though and, given the design of the shirt he wears, was most certainly a Blackfeet man. In fact, the sitter looks a good deal like Judge Shorty White Grass whose portraits Sharp painted on several occasions beginning in 1901. See for example, #s413 and 414.
