About the Item

This photograph by Fredericksburg-based artist Tom Sauerwein captures a quiet, soulful moment inside Pickers Supply, one of the city's most beloved music stores. Sauerwein is known for his strong compositions that highlight the charm of local spaces, and this image is a perfect example. A warm-toned upright bass stands proudly next to a unique round-bodied banjo, their graceful curves and polished wood surfaces glowing under soft light. Behind them, guitars hang in a colorful row, adding rhythm to the scene. The photo feels both nostalgic and full of life, honoring the connection between music, craftsmanship, and community. Sauerwein turns a simple shop corner into something timeless and full of character, just like Fredericksburg itself. This photograph comes unsigned but was bought from the photographer and is in excellent condition!
