About the Item
This impressionist painting by Virginia artist Walter Biggs captures a moment of quiet strength and familial connection. A seated man rests outside with his hat in hand, while a young girl holding a doll stands nearby and an older woman looks on from the doorway. The scene is painted with loose, expressive brushwork and a soft color palette that conveys warmth and intimacy. Biggs, known for his illustrations and depictions of American life, brings emotional depth and subtle storytelling to this everyday moment. The composition leads the eye naturally through the figures, drawing attention to the relationships and gestures that define the scene.
The painting is signed lower right and comes with a period frame. It is a meaningful addition for collectors interested in African American culture, Southern history, or American illustration art.
