Provenance: The John S. MacKay collection. In a correspondence to Kirke, John writes: "I was going through some old photographs and came across four negatives of my grandfather's Russell Room in New Jersey. I'm wondering if the Indian shirt is the one draped over the chair. According to Bill MacKay Sr. a man by the name of Ned Frost and a friend of Charlie Russel bought the Indian artifact for my grandfather to decorate the Russell Room. My grandfather died in 1932, so I assume all were collected before that date."
