Daniel by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Daniel is a rare, limited edition lithograph by beloved American folk artist P. Buckley Moss, from both her One Boy Collection and her Boy Names Collection. This charming piece depicts a barefoot Amish boy carrying a pail in one hand and holding a fishing pole in the other, embodying the innocence and industriousness of rural childhood.

The boy’s simple attire—black overalls, pale shirt, and broad-brimmed hat—reflects the plain traditions of Amish life, while his stance and expression convey both responsibility and quiet curiosity. The name Daniel grounds the piece with individuality, making it a deeply personal work that speaks to both family values and identity.

Style & Technique

Moss employs her distinctive folk-art minimalism, focusing on expressive form rather than intricate detail. The boy is outlined with graceful simplicity, allowing his pose and accessories—the fishing pole and pail—to tell his story. His bare feet add a sense of authenticity and childlike freedom.

The lithograph medium captures every nuance of Moss’s hand, from the fine linework to the subtle shading, ensuring that this signed and numbered edition remains a treasured collectible.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Daniel is nostalgic, tender, and timeless. Moss celebrates the quiet dignity of childhood, where play and work often overlap. Drawing inspiration from Amish values and her love for depicting children, Moss conveys the beauty of simplicity and the importance of identity—here, not just as a boy, but as “Daniel.”

This piece honors both individuality and community, reminding us of the balance between who we are and the traditions that shape us.
