Thomas Hart Benton

I Got a Gal on Sourwood Mountain
1938

A black and white illustration depicting a lively scene with three figures: a couple dancing energetically in the center, with the man lifting the woman slightly off the floor, and a musician seated to the right playing a fiddle. The setting appears to be a rustic room with a wooden floor and a window in the background. A hanging lamp sways above the dancers, adding to the dynamic atmosphere of the scene. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom.
