This one stopped Rosalind Williams cold. Taken in the 1960s by a 15-year-old Johnny Simmons — now a prominent cinematographer in film and television — the image captured something timeless: a little girl, an ice cream cone, and a moment of pure, uncomplicated joy. Blacker the Berry is Rosalind’s painted tribute to that photograph, and to everything it holds.
There is something quietly powerful about preserving a moment like this — the sweetness of childhood, the richness of Black life and joy, the way a single image can carry an entire world inside it. This portrait brings that world into your home, rendered in vivid color or striking monochrome, on quality canvas built to last.
A fade-proof laminate finish ensures every detail holds beautifully over time — just like the memory itself. Choose the vibrant Color palette for its full warmth and life, or the Monochrome edition for a timeless, soulful interpretation.
