From the Estate of the late Joseph D. Rowand, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Joe Rowand was instrumental in developing a contemporary art scene in North Carolina. After studying in New York City at Parsons, he brought the big city art feel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina when he opened Somerhill Gallery in 1972. His gallery served as an epicenter for collectors and artists to gather and grow for over thirty years.

This belonged to Joe's mother and he often cited this piece as one that spurred his love of art at an early age (although he was quick to point out it wasn't exactly his "aesthetic).

Several faint foxing marks, slight toning, skinning spot, and waviness to sheet; not examined out of frame.
