This artwork is an original oil painting by renowned American visionary and folk artist Lorenzo Scott (born 1934). Still includes the original handwritten price tag by the artist. The piece is distinctly signed by the artist in the lower right corner.

.Artistic Style and Details: The painting features a centralized portrait rendered in a signature self-taught, "outsider art" style. It showcases a figure styled with flat perspective, bold outlines, and a textured, patterned green sweater. Scott's work uniquely blends traditional Southern African-American folk themes with an intense admiration for Renaissance oil glazing, composition balance, and portraiture-techniques he famously self-taught by studying the Old Masters inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Atlanta's High Museum of Art.

Prominence: Recognized as a "Modern Renaissance Painter of Folk Art," his paintings are highly collectible.Museum Collections: His masterworks are held in the permanent collections of major institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the American Folk Art Museum in New York, and the High Museum of Art.
