DESCRIPTION:This image probably depicts a slave, pre-emancipation. In constrast with the African-American woman's very dark skin, the two children in her care—a boy and a girl—both are embellished with light hand coloring. Their expressions are intense, priceless. The plate has overall dotting with small marks, though the image itself reads quite well. Please contact the gallery for a quote on shipping and insurance costs. If applicable, residents of New York will be charged sales tax. International clients will be responsible for their VAT.
