Clementine Hunter was born around 1886 and was the granddaughter of an enslaved person. She was the eldest of seven children to Creole parents. Hunter was a self-taught artist from the Cane River region of the U.S. state of Louisiana, who lived and worked on Melrose Plantation. She is the first African-American artist to have a solo exhibition at the present-day New Orleans Museum of Art.
