Girl in Relief

Description

Folk art hand-painted relief carving of girl, c. 1910s-’20s. She holds a picture frame containing a stylized illustration cut from a magazine, which seems intended to represent a portrait of her parents. With its the evocative contrast between nuanced self-taught artistry and mass-media artifice replicated in print, the carving is a powerful piece of American folk art.
