Illuminated Psalm c. 1939

This Illuminated Psalm, created by Emma M. Krumrine around 1939, showcases a vibrant folk art style common to the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. The artwork features a heart motif, stylized floral patterns, and small birds, all rendered in bold colors and simple, expressive lines. The central heart contains a handwritten inscription in German, likely a passage from the Psalms. This piece embodies a sense of religious devotion often found in Pennsylvania Dutch art, blending traditional motifs with a heartfelt personal message.
