Here is the Indian Squaw painting and the portrait on my mirror:



And for comparison so that you don't have to scroll back, here is the portrait previously ID'd as Wolf Robe and his photo:

I was not here when you did this one !! I wondered why I didn`t remember it !!  How did you finally find out who it was ??

I was thinking about the mirror this morning and so I ran yet another of many random Google image searches. This time I searched for Sioux squaw and BINGO! There she was!

That's an interesting mirror !! Its unusual to have Native American images on it !!  Glad you finally found out who it was !!

I have tried researching Paul Albert LaForte and found 2:  1 in Canada and 1 in Massachusetts.  Only reference to them...but no additional information.  Will keep searching!

Yet another piece of a mystery solved !!!
