Hunter was born in the Cane River district of Louisiana, and worked for most of her life as a farm hand. Largely without a formal education, she spent her later years working at Melrose Plantation and she began to paint using materials left behind by a visiting artist. Her subjects are typically scenes of rural and agricultural life during the early twentieth century, and they form a record of the daily life and activities of that era. "The Donkey Cart" is an example of her work in this genre, showing a simply composed scene of a field worker transporting cotton in a small, mule-drawn wagon.
