For your consideration is this early, original American Folk Art oil painting on canvas, circa 1800's. The painting on canvas shows a comical scene of a mother milking the cow and squirting the milk into her child's mouth. Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring trade’s people. The condition of this painting is fair; it shows its age, especially at the edges where some of the paint has worn off. The measurements of this painting are 13 1/2" x 21".
