Type: Framed, texturized painting

Description: Ted Ellis’ “New Orleans Funeral Precession” beautifully captures the soulful tradition of a jazz funeral, where grief and celebration walk side by side. A white horse-drawn carriage carries the casket through the historic streets, led by a brass band whose music transforms sorrow into a tribute of life, culture, and resilience. With rich color and rhythmic composition, Ellis honors the unique spirit of New Orleans — a city where even farewells are filled with music, memory, and dignity.
