The frame measures 27 1/4 by 31 1/4 inches, and the painting measures approximately 16 3/4 by 21 1/2 inches. An old paper label on the back gives a brief biography of the famous "Indian Fighter" and indicates the portrait is signed by Charles A. Jackson. A more recent framed brass plaque is also included with a biography of Miles. It also states that Miles commissioned the painting by Charles A. Jackson in October 1895. Charles Ackerman Jackson (1857-1939) also painted portraits of other U.S. officers in the late 19th century. Provenance: The Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Fine overall with the portrait remaining distinct and displaying vibrant color. There is moderate age and storage related wear mainly on the frame but also some paint loss primarily in the upper right section of the background. This is a very rare opportunity to add an original piece of late 19th century American art to your collection and would be an excellent companion for any (or all) of the preceding General Nelson A. Miles items.
