Description
Image of the painting Old City Market (ca. 1950) (oil on panel), by Savannah, Georgia native Augusta Oelschig. The work depicts the bustling life around the Old City Market in Savannah. Several African American Savannahians are depicted working and gathering outside the market. Vehicles, wagons, and barrows filled with produce line the street running next to the market. Much of Oelschig's work focuses on scenes in Savannah and the Lowcountry and often features African American subjects.
