About
Young Man with Trowel (1939) is an example of Peggy Strong’s use of figurative realism in her portraiture. While the portrait has a heavy emphasis on the textures of each object and figure, their stylization and coloring remain true to life. The man in the portrait stares off slightly to the side, caught up in thought, while he clasps a trowel– the idealized image of the working, blue-collar American man.

We Offer High Quality
Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
