Limited edition print titled Pleasures of the Heart by Native American artist Virginia Alice Stroud (Cherokee). The composition depicts a peaceful canoe scene with three figures traveling through a lush wetland landscape filled with cattails, lily pads, and flowering aquatic plants. Rendered in Stroud’s distinctive graphic illustration style, the figures are shown with simplified forms, patterned garments, and soft pastel tones, creating a serene narrative scene inspired by Indigenous life and storytelling traditions. Virginia Stroud is a noted Cherokee artist and illustrator whose work frequently reflects themes of Native culture, community, and the natural environment. Her prints and illustrations have been widely collected and published in books and exhibitions related to Native American art. The print is hand-signed by the artist and numbered 459/1000 in the lower margin. Presented under glass with coordinating matting in a painted decorative frame.
