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.

An offset color lithograph titled “Reflections of Another Time” by Ernest Crichlow, depicting a woman tending her garden. The woman appears in profile on the right, wearing a dark purple garment with a lighter color apron and her hands gathered in front of her. She is wearing multiple thin bracelets on her right wrist with a pearl-like earring on her left ear. Her eyes are closed, and her hair is gathered in a side bun slightly above her left ear. She is facing the garden, with multi-colored blooms in a field of green, which extends into the distance. There are two figures in the background on the left side of the artwork: the person on the left is wearing a white top and flowy yellow bottom garment, the person on the right is wearing an orange top and flowy purple skirt. In the distant background, a blue sky meets blue water along the horizon.
