Oil painting on canvas mural of a pink elephant being ridden by two black men and a woman playing a stringed instrument.
This mural was part of the decorations from one of Evelyn Fortune Bartlett's birthday parties OR was painted for Evie Lilly's "coming out"?. It also hung on the walls of the Bonnet House theatre pavillon located in the south east corner of the property afterward. Frederic Clay Bartlett was quite well know for his murals, many of which can still be seen in Chicago, Illinois. Duplicate mural was destroyed. See B93 for oil sketch of mural.
