  • Edward Mitchell Bannister, People Near Boat, 1893, oil on canvas, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Harvey Golden, 1983.95.121

Luce Center Label

Scholars have suggested that the bearded man in this painting might be a self-portrait. Edward Bannister rarely included African American subjects in his paintings, focusing instead on pastoral landscape scenes, which brought him greater success in the art market. (Holland, Edward Mitchell Bannister, 1992)
