Robert Henri
Self Portrait / Sketch on verso
Estate stamped lower right
Ink on paper, graphite on paper
12 1/2 x 8 inches

When Robert was about 10 years old, his family moved to Cozad in Dawson County. Tension existed between John Cozad and the established ranchers who resented development, and a rancher attacked Cozad, who in self defense shot the man to death.
Fearing for his life, he, his wife and two sons sneaked out of town and re convened in Atlantic City where they disguised their identity by taking other names.
