This watercolor by Elmer R. Kottcamp, completed in 1941, depicts a "Pa. German Spark Shield". These objects were traditionally used by Pennsylvania Dutch settlers to protect their homes from sparks from the hearth. The intricate design of the shield, including the holes and inscription, is realistically rendered by Kottcamp, creating a sense of depth and texture.
