Image size: 40" x 33"     Edition size: Personal Commission

In the painting, we see a gathering of Cheyenne and Sioux men intently listening to a man who is an orator among his people. The words of the peace commission have been translated to him and he is expressing his distrust of those words. Terpning wanted the entire focus of the painting to be on the native people, so we see only the corner of a table and the shoes of the commissioner. The scene depicted here is not a specific treaty signing event, but it is loosely patterned after the Fort Laramie treaty of 1868. The title comes from the Indian expression that the treaty always said one thing to the white man and quite another to the native people.

Letter from the Publisher:

Few artists and their work are relevant for a decade. Howard Terpning has remained so for the 30 years we have published his Fine Art Editions. Since we first issued his limited editions in 1980, Howard Terpning has set the bar in collecting Western art.

To commemorate this achievement, The Greenwich Workshop will release a series of Personal Commission Prints that reflect his publishing program with us over the last 30 years. As Personal Commissions, each release is guaranteed to be a Sold Out Edition, as the edition size is set by the number of orders we receive in the Commission Period. By keeping the Commission Period short, we expect tight edition sizes.

Sincerely,

Scott Usher
Publisher and President
The Greenwich Workshop, Inc.

About Your Personal Commission Print:

1. What is a Personal Commission?

Delivery of completed prints begins shortly after the edition size is determined by the total number of orders received during the commission period.

2. Ordering a Personal Commission Print: It's simple! Prints may be ordered during the commission period, now through December 3rd, 2010. To place an order, contact your Greenwich Workshop authorized dealer for a a Personal Commission form. Each form must be accompanied by a deposit for each print ordered. All orders must be received by December 3rd, 2010.

3. When will prints be delivered? Delivery will begin December, 2010 and will include confirmation of the final edition size.
