Sharp's Inscription(s): (on verso)"Indian Boys in Taos Cañon. J.H. Sharp. 1947-48 Come on in the water's fine!..." (on attached note (to Thomas Gilcrease?)) "This should be lightly varnished in 6 months or so. I have a frame in Taos that will make it sing more, & if so will use it. I would like to have this back in Taos after your openin reception for a little while to show the fellow artists- some of them say I can only paint firelights, aspens and flowers! Say sometime in June- July, We hope to be there in late May"
