Woman Talk by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

“Woman Talk” by P. Buckley Moss is a rare and highly sought-after signed and numbered limited edition lithograph. Belonging to both the Moss Rare Collection and two beloved thematic series—the Moss Quilting Collection and the Two Girl Collection—this artwork captures the quiet intimacy of shared conversation and the bonds of community.

The lithograph depicts two Amish women, their modest attire rendered in Moss’s signature folk style, as they pause over a colorful handmade quilt. Positioned beside a window, the women appear caught in a moment of conversation—perhaps exchanging stories, laughter, or confidences while working together. The quilt itself, with its patchwork pattern of warm hues, becomes a central symbol: it represents tradition, creativity, and the threads that connect women, families, and communities across generations.

The lithographic medium enhances every detail of Moss’s vision, offering both clarity and warmth while ensuring the collectible nature of this edition.
