$800/1200 Note: A student of George David Coulon and Andres Molinary, Marie Therese Bernard de Jaham was an accomplished woman artist working in New Orleans at the turn of the century. In 1910, she earned a painting commission from St. Augustine, an African-American church in the Faubourg Tremé. Known for her religious paintings, de Jaham painted a copy of Murillo’s famed “Assumption of the Virgin” and life-size figures of the four evangelists that were installed on the ceiling of the church. Here de Jaham depicts a peddler and his mule drawn cart as he roams through southern Louisiana selling his wares.
