Description
Bessie Smith was the highest-paid African American artist working in music and the first African American superstar. Nicknamed the "Empress of the Blues", she was the most popular female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s. I painted her portrait with her signature ostrich feather fan and some lyrics from her popular songs.
