"Life on the Coast"
Description
This oil-on-canvas mural entitled “Life on the Coast” was painted in 1938 by Louis Raynaud. The mural was moved to the current Post Office in 1987. The images depict the lifestyle of coastal Mississippians. The original design showed the mother in a bathing costume playing in the water next to her child. However, in the final work she stands on the shore in a more conservative dress.
