Indian Maiden and Fawn is a 1917–1924 sculpture by Alexander Phimister Proctor.
Description and history
Alexander Phimister Proctor's figural group Indian Maiden and Fawn (1917–1924) is a sculpture depicting a standing nude Native American female with a fawn standing to her right. She wears a headband and braids, and holds out food for the deer in her left hand.[1]
There exist several copies of the sculpture. One copy, made of yellow-leaded brass, is installed within the Jasper County Historical Museum in Newton, Iowa.[2] Fonderia Bruno served as the founder of this statue.[1]
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, located on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon, has a 74-inch (190 cm) bronze copy, dated 1926. It was gifted by Narcissa J. Washburne and the Carl Washburne estate in 1962.[3][4] The statue used to be installed outside the museum until it was overturned by vandals in 1980. Despite being insured and most recently appraised for $12,000, museum officials were uncertain if they could restore the woman's arm, which had broken off.[4]
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming also has a bronze copy in its collection.[5]
In 2001, Christie's sold a 21-inch (53 cm) copy of the sculpture, estimated to be worth between $20,000 and $30,000, for $19,975.[6]
