Bill Traylor
American, 1853–1949
Through subtle positioning, Traylor illustrates that these two figures are arguing. The city woman with her smart purse and patterned skirt raises her chin and points her finger toward the man who responds with a similar action. Speaking of this or a similar drawing. Traylor reportedly told his friend Charles Shannon that: "She's not asking him where he's been, she's telling him."
