Clementine Hunter Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1886 - d. 1988

Born to Mary Adams, a descendant of Virginian slaves, and Janvier Rueben, who was of Irish and Native American heritage, Louisiana folk artist Clementine Hunter spent most of her early life on plantations. Clementine Hunter's prints were vivid replications of her abstract oil paintings, created from memories of her time on southern plantations. Religious scenes, recreation, portraiture, and nature scenes from Melrose Plantation were all subjects of Clementine Hunter's prints. 

Marie Therese, a freed Congo native, founded Melrose Plantation in the 1790s, and it became an artists' colony during the time Hunter lived there. Clementine Hunter's paintings for sale are more valuable and sought after because of her unofficial title of most famous female artist of Louisiana. Capture the culture of another place and time by buying remarkable figural paintings online from galleries and at auction.

  • CLEMENTINE HUNTER (AMERICAN, 1887-1988)
    Mar. 21, 2026

    CLEMENTINE HUNTER (AMERICAN, 1887-1988)

    Est: $2,000 - $3,000

    Clementine Hunter American, 1887-1988 Oil on canvas panel Initialed lower right. Laundry day scene, unframed. Accompanied by a photograph of the artist holding this painting. Clementine Hunter lived and worked most of her life on the Melrose cotton plantation near Natchitoches, Louisiana. It wasn't until 1940 that she began painting, with her first work being a depiction of a baptism in Cane River executed on a window shade. She did not have much for materials, so she used whatever surfaces she could find, drawing and painting on canvas, wood, gourds, paper, snuff boxes, wine bottles, iron pots, cutting boards, and plastic milk jugs; painting at night after working all day on the plantation. The subject of her work was moments of everyday life around the plantation, from work in the cotton fields to baptisms and funerals. Her first exhibition was in 1949; however, it was not until the 1970s when both the Museum of American Folk Art in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibited her paintings, that she began to garner public attention. Despite consequential success, Hunter chose to stay in Louisiana, working at Melrose Plantation until 1970 when she moved to a small trailer a few miles away on an unmarked road. Today she is Louisiana's most famous female artist, and she is one of the most important folk artists of all time. Her work can be seen in the Smithsonian Institute, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Museum of American Folk Art in New York, the High Museum of Atlanta, the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, the New York Historical Association, the Oprah Winfrey Collection in Chicago and many other museums and private collections across the country.

    CLEMENTINE HUNTER (American/Louisiana, 1886-1988) WASH DAY

    Est: $3,000 - $3,500

    Attributed to Clementine Reuben Hunter (American/Louisiana, 1886/87-1988) oil on paper depicting a wash day scene, with two women washing clothing with a kettle and washboard. Signed with monogram middle right margin. A self-taught artist, Clementine Hunter created bright, whimsical folk paintings depicting life in and around the Melrose cotton plantation where she lived and worked, near Natchitoches, Louisiana. She did not start painting until her 50s. She used whatever surfaces she could find, and, working from memory, recorded everyday life, from work in the cotton fields to baptisms and funerals. She rendered her figures, usually black, in expressionless profile and disregarded formal perspective and scale. Though she first exhibited in 1949, Hunter did not garner public attention until the 1970s when both the Museum of American Folk Art in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibited her paintings. Even with such success, Hunter chose to stay in Louisiana, working at Melrose Plantation until 1970 when she moved to a small trailer a few miles away on an unmarked road.
