43 states, yeah. Guessing most likely this was painted by an anon who didn’t plan the star arrangements very well.
Unusual with the amount of detail otherwise, but a lot of people who’ve tried drawing the flag by winging it , without attenting that it’s 5 rows of 6 stars and 4 rows of 5 stars, not 8 rows of 6 stars or 7 rows of 7 st… oh crap that’s not 50!, run into that issue.
Awesome painting though, and great find by u/crushing !
I wonder why the flag is incorrect.

It’s the 48 star flag- six rows of eight stars each, from 1912. I believe it has significance to the artist.
Would make more sense than a totally erroneous 43 star rendition.
Wonder why that would have been picked. For being prior to 1913, surely, but no way we give up Alaska.
Hawaii, maybe, but also doubtful, so not sure what could be being gotten at other than perhaps a return to pre-cabal.
