Free to Sit - Painted by Maggie O'Neill

This is a unique 18x24 reproduction of Maggie O'Neal's Free to Sit

From the artist: "I painted this piece in 2010 as part of a design pitch for Lincoln Restaurant in Washington, DC. After winning the contract, the original hangs in the restaurant along with several other paintings. This was a very special restaurant early in my career as a designer."
