This is a rare painting titled "The Bystanders" by Thierry Chatelain who studied art in Paris and California. It is an original piece and signed by the artist and demonstrates his brilliant command of guache and his mastery of color. The painting Only the world of light and peace and truth enters into Chatelain's painting. These higher forces are juxtaposed with global native and vanished cultures. Many of his American Indian culture paintings are now available as prints, but it is rare to find an original. It was originally painted for a psychologist Dianna Rheinstrom and has never been on the market. What a wonderful painting to be displayed  in your home.
