"We have all been waiting for that one piece of American art that defines our nation...

and it has just been discovered."

Reta Carden avid reader and naturalist

"Haunting and....

lovely"

Lorna Dryden editor and chief Art & Antiques Magazine

"The quintessential piece of Limner and dare I say American Art."

S.T.W.

As much as this is a portrait of a young woman in Colonial America - this is a personification of America herself.

Painted in the late civil war era this portrait of an Irish Puritan immigrant with her distinct and energetic red hair is meant to be a personification of our then young country. This young woman is offering an apple (a known symbol of bounty) and she is depicted holding an entire bushel full showing the abundance our land has to offer. Her sleeves rolled up suggesting what can be accomplished through hard work. She is dressed in our nations colors of red white and blue which are also the colors of the Union Jack. This altogether showcases the hope opportunity abundance and freedom our country offers.

This amazing and beautiful representation of America is still relevant and applicable in achieving what it was created to do over a hundred years ago, be a symbol of America.

This could have been created as a token of peace between the north and south, a kind gesture. This would be a wonderful welcome for anyone entering your home and would look lovely above a harvest table.
