Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and antiques is this striking original folk art portrait painting signed Ann Reid. A beautifully executed contemporary homage to 19th century American itinerant portraiture in the tradition of. And early Americana folk painting traditions. The composition features a young girl in a vivid red dress holding a yellow shoe while standing with one shoe removed – a classic motif associated with early American folk portraiture and highly sought after by collectors of Americana and primitive art. The painting possesses a wonderfully moody and sincere primitive aesthetic with strong visual references to early American naive portrait painting traditions while clearly maintaining a contemporary artistic voice. Signed lower right Ann Reid. Canvas measures approximately 20″ x 24″ and is mounted on an older Anco Bilt stretcher frame as shown. An outstanding decorative and collectible piece for admirers of Americana, primitive portraiture, contemporary folk art, and eclectic interiors. From my personal #dougfinds collection of curated quality goods.
