Circus Wagon Figure 1938

Lawrence Flynn's "Circus Wagon Figure," a watercolor on paper created in 1938, portrays a life-size wooden sculpture of a female figure in a flowing gown. The figure holds a small orb aloft and stands on a carved wooden base. This realistic rendering of a circus wagon figure captures the essence of early-20th century American carnival culture and provides a glimpse into the artistic practices of Lawrence Flynn, a prominent figure in the American art scene. The piece's meticulous detail and the artist's signature in the lower right corner contribute to the artwork's historical and artistic significance.
