This work brings a smile to my face. How he straddles the line between caricature, character and graphic is his signature. It is not surprising to think how difficult it was for people to categorize his art. There is a feeling of humor, stereotype and reveling all at once. It’s so good at times it’s puzzling to understand how easy he makes it look.
Do you know where the Octoroon Girl portrait can be seen in person? I love the calmness of it and would love to see the details up close. Thanks for introducing me to his work.

Excellent!

He is a remarkable artist. I believe it is currently part of the collection at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
