Description

United in Faith by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

United in Faith by P. Buckley Moss is a remarkable 2000 Rare,  Limited, Numbered, Lithograph, Edition, that beautifully captures the strength, unity, and shared purpose of an Amish community. As part of the P. Buckley Moss Barn Collection, and the P. Buckley Moss Children Collection, this rare and highly collectible piece celebrates faith not only as worship—but as daily life lived together.

In this richly detailed composition, United in Faith presents two complementary scenes woven into one harmonious landscape. On the left, a barn raising is underway. Amish men in traditional attire work side by side atop the wooden framework, lifting beams, hammering nails, and securing the roof. A horse-drawn wagon loaded with barrels waits nearby, while others carry lumber and supplies. The partially constructed barn rests on a sturdy stone foundation, symbolizing strength built through cooperation.

On the right side of United in Faith, the scene shifts to a peaceful gathering beneath a large, protective tree. Women and children sit at a long table adorned with food, pitchers, and baskets of apples. A mother gently pushes a child on a swing suspended from the tree’s branches. Nearby, figures walk with baskets and jugs, while others converse near a farmhouse and carriage in the distance.

The large tree at the center anchors the entire composition—its branches stretching protectively over both labor and fellowship. Moss masterfully uses this tree as a symbol of spiritual rootedness and generational connection. The barn raising represents physical unity; the shared meal represents spiritual unity. Together, they define what it means to be truly United in Faith.

Style & Technique

This limited edition lithograph showcases Moss’s iconic folk-art style at its finest. The figures are stylized yet expressive, dressed in traditional Amish clothing rendered in soft blues, blacks, pinks, and muted earth tones. The composition is carefully balanced, with active movement on the left and quiet gathering on the right.

The color palette blends gentle greens, warm golden yellows, dusty rose hues, and subtle mauves, creating a harmonious countryside atmosphere. Moss’s signature elongated forms appear in the tree branches and architectural lines, while fine detailing in the barn’s beams and stonework adds authenticity.

Perspective is layered yet approachable—rolling hills and distant structures fade softly into the background, maintaining focus on the communal activity. The lithographic process preserves every delicate line and color transition, making this rare 2000 edition both visually rich and enduring in quality.

As a Rare Limited Edition within three beloved collections—the P. Buckley Moss Barn Collection, and the P. Buckley Moss Children Collection—United in Faith holds exceptional significance for collectors.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of United in Faith is warm, celebratory, and profoundly communal. Moss honors the Amish tradition of barn raising—where neighbors gather to build for one another—as a powerful expression of faith through action. Work and worship are intertwined, reflecting values of humility, service, and shared responsibility.

The presence of children playing beneath the tree reinforces generational continuity. Women prepare food, men construct shelter, and families gather in harmony—each role equally valued within the community. Moss’s admiration for Amish culture is evident in the dignity and tenderness with which she portrays every figure.

United in Faith is more than a scene—it is a narrative of devotion expressed through cooperation, hospitality, and unwavering belief.
