Cradle c. 1940

Chris Makrenos's "Cradle" from around 1940 depicts a traditional wooden cradle. The artist, who lived from 1855 to 1995, captures the detail of the cradle's intricate design, featuring a dark green base painted with red and yellow floral motifs. The cradle, a symbol of new beginnings and childhood, is painted with great care and precision, highlighting the craftsmanship of the original object. This watercolor painting showcases Makrenos's talent for capturing the essence of everyday objects with a poetic and nostalgic touch.
