Content & Subject

Baskets Galore is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph by celebrated American folk artist P. Buckley Moss, and it is part of the treasured Seven Girl Series. This delightful composition captures the joy of community, sisterhood, and shared traditions through Moss’s signature storytelling imagery.

The artwork is presented in two tiers:

• In the upper vignette, two bonneted girls in soft pink dresses and white aprons carry baskets—one overflowing with blossoms, the other with carefully gathered goods. At their feet rests a basket filled with tall grasses, while a black cat peeks playfully from the side.

• In the lower vignette, five more young girls, all dressed in matching aprons and bonnets, join together in their own harvest. They carry baskets brimming with fruits, flowers, and treasures of the season, forming a lively procession of togetherness.

From quilts to baskets, Moss highlights the symbols of home, tradition, and craftsmanship that run deeply throughout her art. The inclusion of her iconic black cats adds warmth and whimsy, a touch of playful mischief that balances the hardworking innocence of the girls.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s folk art style, Baskets Galore is instantly recognizable for its elongated figures, gentle faces, and narrative simplicity. The pastel pinks, soft greens, and warm earth tones create a harmonious palette, enhanced by the textured background that gives the impression of handwoven fabric or quilted cloth.

The careful arrangement of baskets—some filled with flowers, others with household goods—symbolizes abundance, care, and the beauty of everyday life. Moss’s stylized black cats, sleek and watchful, bring a touch of humor and familiarity. As a limited edition lithograph, the work preserves every delicate line and color variation, ensuring the collector enjoys the richness of Moss’s original vision.

Mood & Inspiration

Baskets Galore radiates a mood of joy, harmony, and shared traditions. Moss drew inspiration from Amish and Shaker communities, whose values of family, work, and togetherness resonate deeply here. The group of seven girls can represent sisters, cousins, or friends, emphasizing themes of unity and belonging. The imagery reminds viewers of community gatherings, quilting bees, and harvest celebrations—moments where everyday tasks become cherished traditions.

The black cats, ever-present in Moss’s work, serve as quiet companions, their presence a symbol of playfulness and continuity within her folk-inspired world.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This piece is well-suited to spaces where warmth and tradition are celebrated:

• A living room or family room, where its themes of community and togetherness resonate.

• A dining room or kitchen, complementing rustic or country décor.

• A nursery or child’s room, symbolizing the bonds of sisterhood and friendship.

• A collector’s gallery wall, especially among Moss’s quilt and basket-themed prints.
