"Basket of Cotton" is a notable painting by the American artist William Aiken Walker, who is renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of the Southern United States, particularly during the post-Civil War era. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1838, Walker's works often reflect the socio-economic conditions and cultural landscapes of the South, making him a significant figure in American art history.

"Basket of Cotton" exemplifies Walker's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of Southern life. The painting typically features a scene of African American laborers engaged in the arduous task of picking cotton, a common subject in Walker's oeuvre. Through his use of vibrant colors and precise brushwork, Walker brings to life the textures of the cotton fields and the worn, yet resilient, expressions of the workers. This piece is not just a visual representation but also a historical document that offers insight into the lives of African Americans in the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction South.

Walker’s work is often characterized by its small scale and intimate portrayal of everyday scenes, which contrasts with the grandiose style of many of his contemporaries. "Basket of Cotton" is no exception, as it provides a poignant glimpse into the labor-intensive cotton industry that was a cornerstone of the Southern economy. The painting is also significant for its portrayal of African American subjects with a degree of dignity and humanity that was uncommon in the art of that period.

"Basket of Cotton" is housed in various private collections and museums, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical value. Walker's ability to convey complex social realities through his art ensures that "Basket of Cotton" remains a vital piece for understanding the cultural and economic fabric of the 19th-century American South.
