Content & Subject

Ernie is a rare, signed, and numbered limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss. It belongs to both the Boy Name Collection and One Boy Collection, while also fitting within the Sports Collection.

The artwork depicts a baseball team named the Tigers, with their coach (likely “Ernie”) standing proudly at the center, surrounded by young players in uniforms holding bats, gloves, and balls. The scene captures the spirit of teamwork, youth sports, and mentorship, reflecting Moss’s talent for portraying community and childhood experiences.

Style & Technique

Painted in Moss’s folk art style, the lithograph features a blend of detailed figures and a softly textured background. The use of whites and blues creates a crisp, clean look, while the players’ uniforms and equipment provide a sense of energy and camaraderie.

As a signed and numbered lithograph, it is highly collectible—especially within Moss’s name series prints.

The mood of Ernie is energetic, joyful, and communal. It celebrates not only the game of baseball but also the values of teamwork, leadership, and childhood play. Moss frequently highlighted scenes of everyday life, and this piece reflects the American pastime through her unique lens of innocence and nostalgia.
