Lattimer, The Widow, Framed Print - 10x12 This framed print is a reproduction of a work titled The Widow, which is attributed to Kathleen Gorenflo on the identification plaque affixed to the matting. The image itself is signed and dated Lattimer 96 in the lower left corner. The composition, which has a somber and ghostly quality, depicts a woman in traditional 19th-century mourning attire, including a full-length black veil and dress, seated on the grass in a cemetery. She is positioned between two headstones with a black wrought-iron fence and foliage in the background. The figure appears translucent, a characteristic often found in the artist's thematic Civil War-era works. The piece is housed in a wide, dark-stained wooden frame featuring ornate scrollwork at each corner. It is professionally matted with a dark, textured outer mat and a thin, light-colored inner border. The reverse of the frame bears a stamp from Old South Art and Frame in Jonesboro, Georgia.
