Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This oil painting depicts a woman in a bonnet with a pair of white ducks with black wings and beaks. She stands in profile to the viewer, facing the ducks. She wears a large blue bonnet, white shirt, and white apron over a dark skirt. She holds out a green rod or stick in her right hand towards the ducks, who stand on patches of green grass. There appears to be a small round bowl on the ground in front of one of the ducks. Behind the woman is a tree and some low bushes. The artist has signed her initials [CH] in the bottom right corner, with the "C" written backwards.
