Firelight Songs; [Fireside Songs, Taos Indians]

This is probably Sharp's Firelight Songs of 1925 exhibited that year at the Traxel Art Galleries in Cincinnati. No paintings using the title of "fireside" are found in available sales records. Jerry Elk Foot, the figure on the left is similar to a singular portrait, related image, #695.
