This is a late 20th century, dated 1985, original 10" x 11" drawing of a bust portrait of a bearded man wearing a raccoon pelt hat by American artist Paul Calle ( (1928 - 2010). The artist is known for his frontier and space genre subjects and he has been commissioned for commemorative stamp designs. The subject of this drawing is a fur trapper/trader and possibly his model known as Joshua. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
