  • Frederick Stanton Perkins - William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody
    Nov. 21, 2021

    Frederick Stanton Perkins - William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody

    Est: $4,000 - $6,000

    Frederick Stanton Perkins - American, 1832-1899 William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody Oil on board 22" x 28" Signed William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody needs no introduction. The famed “Wild West” showman seems to have favored white horses as he most often is portrayed in photographs and paintings, notably by William Herbert Dunton and Rosa Bonheur, aboard white steeds. It is not known which mount is depicted here — Isham, Billy, Tucker, and McKinley were just some of the white horses he owned. One such story emphasizing his fondness for his depiction on white horses is that when his house in North Platte, Nebraska, caught fire and word was sent to him, he telegraphed back “Save Rosa Bonheur’s picture and the house may go to blazes.” Buffalo Bill would have been a subject that especially interested Perkins, given Buffalo Bill’s connection to the American West and Native Americans. In his lifetime the artist-turned-archaeologist was especially known for his collection and study of Native American material. He procured items for the Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History, and the Wisconsin State Historical Society, among others.

  • FREDERICK STANTON PERKINS William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody with a White Horse.
    Sep. 17, 2020

    FREDERICK STANTON PERKINS William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody with a White Horse.

    Est: $3,000 - $5,000

    FREDERICK STANTON PERKINS William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody with a White Horse. Oil on paper mounted on canvas, circa 1895. 555x710 mm; 22x28 inches. Signed in oil, lower left recto. Ex-collection private collection, New York. Perkins (1832-1899) was raised in Wisconsin and spent the majority of his career there. He studied in New York with members of the Hudson River School, including Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823-1900), George Inness (1825-1894) and Frederic Church (1826-1900), and later established a portrait studio in Milwaukee where he painted prominent Wisconsin society members. This portrait depicts Buffalo Bill (1846-1917), who for many was the embodiment of the Wild West. Born as William F. Cody in Iowa Territory in 1846, he served in the Army and hunted buffalo to feed crews of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The persona of 'Buffalo Bill' was created in dime novels by the author Ned Buntline; Cody then played his alter ego on stage, which was the beginning of his career as a showman. The pinnacle of his career was the creation of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, an outdoor, circus-like performance with scenes that cemented the concept of the Wild West for its viewers. Portraits of Buffalo Bill, like the current work, were an important tool in promoting his touring venture and the mythos of the American west.
