Name of artist and painting needed

Anamcara · November 17th, 2011, 03:45 PM

Hi, I'm new to this site but I'm obsessed in finding the name of the artist and painting/print for this western artwork that has been in the family for four generations. I am unable to attach a pic...any ideas on that one?

Description:
It is dated 1919

Starting with the forefront and moving towards the background is a pioneer woman touching a blue beaded necklace while sitting on the ground with 3 Indians (southwestern?). There is a cast iron dutch oven. A cowboy with piercing blue eyes gazes out before him as he leans against the covered wagon. An oxen feeds at the rear of the covered wagon from a feed bag and there is a calf in the wagon covered with a blanket (southwestern?). There are several other covered wagons circled in the background against a mesa.

The artist's first name looks to be Younci or Young?
The artist's last name looks to be Huroker, Hurofer, Hokimer?

I look forward to any ideas you may have about this mystery adventure I am on!!

You are describing a painting sold by Sotheby's in 1997: The old Santa Fe trail by John Young Hunter :
