"Portrait of Two Cotton Pickers" is a notable painting by American artist William Aiken Walker, who is renowned for his depictions of the American South during the post-Civil War era. Walker, born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1838, developed a keen interest in capturing the everyday lives of African Americans, particularly those engaged in agricultural labor. His works are often characterized by their detailed and realistic portrayal of rural Southern life, and "Portrait of Two Cotton Pickers" is a quintessential example of his artistic focus.

The painting features two African American figures, a man and a woman, standing in a cotton field. The man is depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a simple shirt, and trousers, while the woman is dressed in a headscarf, a modest dress, and an apron. Both figures are shown holding large sacks of cotton, emphasizing their roles as laborers in the cotton industry. The background of the painting includes rows of cotton plants, stretching into the distance, under a clear, expansive sky, which serves to highlight the vastness of the agricultural landscape and the arduous nature of their work.

Walker's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the clothing, the individual cotton bolls, and the expressions on the faces of the subjects, which convey a sense of dignity and resilience. The painting not only serves as a historical document but also as a commentary on the socio-economic conditions of African Americans in the South during the late 19th century. Through his work, Walker provides a window into the lives of those who were often marginalized and overlooked in the broader narrative of American history.

"Portrait of Two Cotton Pickers" is part of a larger body of work by Walker that includes numerous paintings and sketches of similar subjects. His oeuvre is highly regarded for its ethnographic value and its contribution to the visual history of the American South. Today, Walker's paintings are held in various private collections and museums, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic and historical significance.
