19th Century Old Southern Georgia African American Black Woman Folk Art Painting

She is wearing a red bandana/handkerchief on her head and has a red coat on with striped sleeves. Her nose and chin are pointy and her fist can be seen, bold and in the foreground, clenching the walking stick. Medium is watercolor and graphite on rigid paper board done in a Folk Art, almost Realist, style.

Initialed and monogrammed in the bottom right corner but hard to discern. Followed by a four leaf clover or perhaps an elaborate B ; quite worthy of further research and quite likely an African American artist. Board shows toning and corner and edge wear. Large chip to top left corner.

Gentle crease line horizontal across top edge. Painting measures 9 1/4" x 6 1/8" and 13 1/2" x 9 1/4" with the boarder. Please enjoy the photos for further item details and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thank you and be sure to check out our other listings!
