Additional Details

John Banks (1912-1888). "Country Funeral is done in crayon, ink and Magic Marker and centers on a glass-windowed, horse-drawn hearse followed by wagons full of mourners on their way to a rural black Baptist church. . . Its power derives from its simplicity." Michael Mott, Folk Art in Texas (Dallas, 1985).
