After William Aiken Walker, American, 1838 to 1921, an oil painting on board, Crabs and Prawns. Signed lower left. Inscribed, Charleston, South Carolina, and titled, on the backside. Framed. A genre painter, William Aiken Walker, is primarily known for his expressions of plantations, cotton fields, African Americans, and dock scenes. The son of a prominent cotton agent, he was a true Southerner, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1838. Walker completed his first painting at twelve and painted until his death in 1921. Although he studied in Dusseldorf sometime during the 1860s, he was primarily self-taught. One of a kind artwork.
