This charming depiction of a young girl knitting wearing her Grandmother’s glasses is aptly titled. The well known American artist Harry Roseland specialized in African American themes and these paintings brought him immediate critical and financial success. His genre scenes were widely accepted as authentic studies of the life of impoverished post-civil war Southern African Americans. Today works by Harry Roseland are found in many notable collections, including the collection of Oprah Winfrey, as well as in many American museums.
