Virginia Stroud (1951-2024) was a citizen of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and a Muscogee descendant who studied under the Cheyenne painter Dick West at Bacone College. Her flat, narrative style, with lavish floral backgrounds and minimal facial detail, grew out of the Bacone school and ledger art. She was named Miss Indian America in 1971 and a Master Artist by the Five Civilized Tribes Museum in 1986, and her work is in the Gilcrease Museum, the Philbrook Museum of Art and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

Framed under glass in a narrow wood frame with a gray-green mat and a green inner mat.
