Vintage New Foundland Folk Art PD Murphy Bell Island 1950s NFLD Poker Humor

This piece is a piece of work of Newfoundland folk art, attributed to JD Murphy, likely a local artist from Belle island, also known as “the iron isle.”. Based on the subject matter and the specific regional abbreviation, NFLD, the painting most likely dates to the 1950s or 1960s, a period of high social activity in the islands mining community.
