L. R. Laffitte Watercolor after Bodmer - "Kiasax"
Est: $700 - $1,050
La Roche Laffitte (French, b. 1943). After Johann Carl Bodmer also known as Karl Bodmer (Swiss-French, 1809-1893). "Kiasax, a Piegen Blackfeet Warrior" watercolor on silk, n.d. Signed at lower right. A luminous watercolor on silk by La Roche Laffitte, this work reinterprets Johann Carl Bodmer's celebrated portrait of Kiasax, a Piegan (Blackfeet) warrior, translating one of the most enduring images of Plains identity into a softer, more atmospheric language. Shown in profile, the figure is wrapped in a broad striped robe, his long hair braided and bound, with a staff or lance resting across his shoulders. Bold red face paint and carefully observed adornment lend the portrait its ceremonial presence, while the pale, open ground gives the figure a quiet, almost suspended stillness. In contrast to Bodmer's original print - prized for its crisp line, descriptive exactitude, and ethnographic clarity - Laffitte's watercolor favors tonal nuance and the gentle breathing of pigment into silk. Size: 21" W x 30.75" H (53.3 cm x 78.1 cm) Edges blur slightly, shadows melt into the support, and details such as textile patterning, facial modeling, and surface ornament are simplified into suggestion rather than sharply defined record. The figure becomes less diagrammatic and more human, less a plate in an illustrated atlas and more a solitary presence in space. Laffitte also departs from Bodmer's original through color handling and atmosphere. The robe's stripes, for example, are rendered with softened transitions and muted warmth, while the background is stripped of the light shadowing seen in Bodmer's, emphasizing silhouette and mood over documentary environment. The result is not a strict reproduction, but a modern homage - one that honors Bodmer's vision while shifting it into a quieter, more contemplative register shaped by translucency, restraint, and the distinctive poetry of watercolor on silk.

L. R. Laffitte Watercolor after Bodmer - "Assiniboine"
Est: $800 - $1,200
La Roche Laffitte (French, b. 1943). After Johann Carl Bodmer (Swiss-French, 1809-1893). "Assiniboine Indian" watercolor on silk, n.d. Signed at lower right. A refined and atmospheric watercolor on silk, this work by La Roche Laffitte revisits Johann Carl Bodmer's celebrated 19th century ethnographic imagery through a contemporary lens. The solitary Assiniboine figure stands poised and dignified, wrapped in layered garments with long dark hair falling across the shoulders, holding a lance adorned with feathers and a shield rendered in muted green and earth tones. The composition retains Bodmer's quiet sense of presence and cultural specificity while softening the scene into something more introspective and lyrical. In contrast to Bodmer's original print, which emphasized linear precision, descriptive detail, and documentary clarity, Laffitte's interpretation favors tonal subtlety and material sensitivity. Size: 21" W x 31" H (53.3 cm x 78.7 cm) The watercolor medium introduces gentle transitions of color and shadow, allowing forms to dissolve slightly into the silk ground. Details such as facial features, fringe, and ornamentation are less sharply defined, replaced by a softer modeling that privileges mood over exactitude. The neutral background further departs from Bodmer's context-driven compositions, isolating the figure in a timeless, almost meditative space. This reinterpretation is not a strict reproduction but a thoughtful transformation, shifting Bodmer's historical record into a modern, painterly meditation on identity and representation. By translating the image into watercolor on silk, Laffitte introduces translucency, fragility, and movement, underscoring the distance between 19th century documentation and contemporary reflection while honoring the enduring power of Bodmer's original vision.
