The work is offered here as attributed to Carter inasmuch as there is no provenance; probably dates to circa 1930s.Clarence H.

It depicts a farmyard, most likely near his native Portsmouth, southern Ohio, in which a lone flowering plant -- a volunteer -- has grown. It is shown in bright colorful detail, contrasting to the relatively somewhat somber farm buildings, and thereby draws our immediate attention.

NO folds or creases, mat burns, or foxing. No discernible fading, if any at all.
