Description:Full-length frontal of a young boy, age 5 or 6, dressed black holding a hat in his right hand. His left hand rests on a red wooden tricycle that features a horse's head on the front. The setting is outdoors. The subject is standing next to an open low wall or balustrade.
History:Purchased from Mrs. Shephard Greene, Jr., who was given the work by Minnie Sue Williams. The subject lived in Neely's Bend and this is likely a posthumous work as the child reportedly died at a young age. The artist was a Civil War veteran and is listed in several Nashville City Directories.
