"Man With A Basket Of Cotton" is a painting by William Aiken Walker (1839–1921), an American artist known for his works depicting the rural South after the American Civil War. Walker, a Charleston-born painter, is particularly recognized for his detailed genre paintings of African Americans in the postbellum period. Although the exact date of "Man With A Basket Of Cotton" is not well-documented, it is consistent with Walker's prolific output during the late 19th century.

The painting is a representative example of Walker's genre scenes, which often featured sharecroppers and plantation laborers. In "Man With A Basket Of Cotton," Walker portrays an African American man in the act of carrying a basket filled with cotton, capturing the daily life and labor that was common in the Southern United States during this era. The subject is typically depicted with dignity and a sense of individuality, which is characteristic of Walker's approach to his figures.

Walker's work is significant for its historical context and its contribution to the visual record of the South during Reconstruction and the subsequent decades. His paintings are valued for their attention to detail, use of color, and composition, as well as for their sociocultural importance. "Man With A Basket Of Cotton" is part of a larger body of Walker's work that provides insight into the lives of African Americans and the Southern economy during a transformative period in American history.

As with many of Walker's paintings, "Man With A Basket Of Cotton" is likely to be found in private collections or regional museums that focus on Southern art. The painting contributes to the understanding of the genre of Southern art and the depiction of African American subjects in the visual arts of the United States. It is an important piece for scholars studying the representation of race, labor, and the rural South in American art history.
