Source: Cabin Scene – Here is something a little different for us … a classic piece by the 19th century American artist William Aiken Walker (1839 – 1921) that was recently sold. Walker was born in Charleston, S.C., and served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. Today, according to his bio on Wikipedia, he is best known for his paintings depicting the lives of poor black emancipated slaves, especially sharecroppers in the post-Reconstruction American South.
