About the piece
Painted in 1895 by Louis Mader, this oil-on-metal work is a classic example of American folk art. It depicts the Berks County Almshouse complex with architectural precision, framed by vignettes that show the site through different seasons and a central American eagle, embodying the pride and order of the late Victorian era.
