PLEASE NOTE: Provenance: Acquired by the present owner from a Chesterton, Indiana family that acquired the sculpture directly from the artist. Note: Born in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi with a later childhood in New Orleans, Richmond Barthe graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1929, and established a studio in Harlem where he worked through the late 1950's. Scholar Margaret Rose Vendyres notes that Barthe worked on the image of Christ, as seen here in this lot, at critical times throughout his career.
