Sculpture 1935 - 1942

This anonymous watercolor sketch, created between 1935 and 1942, depicts a seated figure of a Black woman holding a platter and a torch. The figure is dressed in a brightly patterned robe with a head wrap, and the artist has included several decorative details around the composition, perhaps indicating that the sketch was a design for a sculpture or a decorative element. The use of watercolor and the expressive details suggest the artist was working in a design or decorative style.
