"Checkerboard Artist" House Portrait

Somerset County, PA

Circa: 1820-1840
Size: 10" (w) x 7 3/8" (h)
This deceptively simple work is subtle but remarkably indelible. It is attributed to "The Checkerboard Artist" of Somerset County, PA and relates to a small group of wall boxes and chests that share a common aesthetic and craftsmanship of incised, geometric design and a harmonious color palette of red, green, yellow, and black. This panel is the only non-utilitarian work associated with this maker.
