Lot description

oil on canvas, signed at lower left, presented in a gilt frame. SS 23.5 x 27.5 in.; DOA 30 1/8 x 34.25 in. According to the artist, this painting was featured in the second exhibition of African-American Life at Monticello. While quick to say he is not a historian, Mr. Gibbs says "my focus was on the land and the people that kept it up and their community. This painting shows the activity of washing clothes, their own clothes." Acquired by the consignor from a Baltimore collection. Additional high-resolution photos are available at LelandLittle.com
