Limited Edition: 1 of 25 Height 11" x Width 14" Year Produced: 2013 Inventory ID VN_0027 Status: Hyder Gallery Price: $95.00 ![]() Narrative: Upon being given her freedom by her master, Maria Dorothea was given this house at 21B Strandgrade (Strand Street) in Frederiksted, St. Croix, USVI. One of her descendents, Anne Wolbam of Copenhagen Denmark, researched her life and ultimately located the house on Fredriksted, St. Croix. Together we spent time photographing the house so it could be drawn. I didnt think sitting in the middle of a street was a good place to draw. As I prepared to finish the drawing the idea emerged to include an ethereal image of Anne on the front porch coming to visit her great great great grandmother. ![]() |
