Cravat c. 1937

"Cravat" is a watercolor on paper by Marie Mitchell, created around 1937. The artwork depicts a close-up view of a black cravat, rendered with meticulous detail. The cravat's bow is the focal point, emphasizing the folds and textures of the fabric. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimensionality to the design, making the cravat appear almost three-dimensional. This detailed illustration reflects Mitchell's interest in fashion design and her ability to capture the intricate beauty of everyday objects through her art.
