Oil on canvas depicting a marketplace with a tall building on the right hand side and a smaller building with a single archway on the left side. In the center appears to be a small tent (or stand) and a wheeled cart. Around them are men and women. In the right foreground are four chickens and a barrel. Central in the composition is a large tree with the top of a second tree visible above the smaller building. Electric or phone lines run diagonally across the top. The painting is signed in brown paint in the lower left corner "James Eccles" with part of the signature over painted. The painting is framed in a decoratively carved wooden frame painted an off-white color, but traces of gold and red-brown paint are visible underneath. On the bottom of the frame is a brass plaque which reads, "MARKET IN BARBADOS; JAMES ECCLES; ANDERSON CIVIC ART ASSOCIATION." On the verso are several markings on the stretcher, "#45 Market in Barbados BWI" in black marker, "Loaned by Anderson Civic Art Assoc." in pencil, an address label that reads, "James Eccles; 831 North Marion Street; Oak Park, Illinois," the accession number in pencil, and a 1960 Hoosier Salon entry tag (all included in the accession file).Type of Painting
