"Wintertime in 18th century Louisiana" 8 x 10 Available.
My latest Masterpiece is titled "Wintertime in 18th century Louisiana" 8 x 10 Available. It shows a late 18th century Louisiana interior with fashionably dressed Free Woman of Color playing a lute,seated in a gilt wood Louis XVI style chair next to a fire in a Creole Neoclassical style carved wrap-around mantel. On the mantel is a Mahogany, marble and ormolu Louis XVI style Lyre shaped clock, a George III ormolu mount blue john vase. Blue John (also known as Derbyshire Spar) is a English semi-precious mineral, a form of fluorite with bands of a purple-blue or yellowish color. Blue John was so popular in the 18th and early 19th century for its ornamental value it was mined out. And Hurricane globe with mid 18th century brass Louis XV candlestick. Next to the curtain is a Passementerie Bell pull. #outsiderart #folkart #Art #artist #artcollector #blackhistorymonth #artistsoninstagram #creole #Passementerie #instaart #contemporaryart #creoleartist #arte #artcollectors #modernart #creoleart #artbrut #fineart #Freepeopleofcolor #AfricanAmericanartist #selftaught #folkartpaintings #southernfolkart #naiveart #vernacularart #blackart #originalart #Neworleansart #folkartist #Louisianaart
