For your consideration is this framed painting titled, "The Wagon Ride" by Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses) circa 1940-50s. The artist, born Anna Mary Robertson, left her home at an early age to work as a hired girl on a neighboring farm. She married in 1887 and eventually gave birth to ten children. Moses detested knitting and sewing, but she began entertaining herself and her friends by creating needlework images and quilts depicting bright country settings. When she was 78 years old and unable to embroider due to arthritis, friends suggested she paint the scenes instead. Despite being familiar with the difficulties and sorrows of farm life, she depicted idyllic childhood recollections of fields and storms, barn dances, and holidays in rural New York and Virginia. She purposefully excluded telephone poles, tractors, and other signs of industrialization. Louis J. Caldor, a New York collector, discovered Moses' work and assisted her in starting a professional exhibition. A reviewer from New York's Herald Tribune gave her the nickname "Grandma Moses". Her paintings became quite popular and were praised for their nostalgic appeal. She showed her art globally in her 90s and continued to paint until a few months before her death at the age 101. This painting depicts a group of people riding in a horse drawn carriage as they pass a workers shop. Two men are working in the shop as the passengers ride by on the snow covered ground while one of the passengers waves. The scene feels happy and joyful and is brightly colored throughout. No artist's signature is seen on the painting. The back of the frame shows a black & white photo of Grandma Moses and the title of the painting. The piece shows good condition overall with slight wear to the frame but no signs of obvious damage is noted. The visible art measures 4 5/8" L x 6 5/8" W, while the entire piece measures 6 3/16" L x 8 3/16" W x 1 1/8" D. It weighs 6 ounces.
