"Cotton Worker" is a painting by William Aiken Walker (1839–1921), an American artist known for his genre paintings depicting the rural South after the Civil War. Walker's work often focused on the lives of sharecroppers, African American laborers, and the changing Southern landscape during the Reconstruction era. "Cotton Worker" is emblematic of Walker's oeuvre, capturing the daily life of an African American laborer engaged in the arduous task of picking cotton.

The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the cotton worker amidst the vast fields, highlighting the individual's role within the larger agricultural economy of the South. Walker's attention to the nuances of light and shadow, as well as his use of color, imbues the scene with a sense of realism and immediacy. The figure is typically depicted with dignity and a sense of quiet endurance, which is a hallmark of Walker's respectful portrayal of his subjects.

As with many of Walker's paintings, "Cotton Worker" serves as a historical document, providing insight into the postbellum Southern United States and the socio-economic conditions of the time. The artwork reflects the artist's interest in the themes of labor and race, and it contributes to the broader narrative of American art in the late 19th century.

The exact date of "Cotton Worker" is not well-documented, which is common with many of Walker's paintings, as he produced a large number of works during his career. His paintings were widely distributed, often sold to tourists and collectors in the South, which has led to a broad dispersal of his art in both private and public collections.

William Aiken Walker's "Cotton Worker" is an important piece within the context of Southern genre painting and American art history. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit as well as its cultural and historical significance, offering a window into the life and labor of the post-Civil War South.
