Lottery Wheel c. 1938

Al Curry's *Lottery Wheel* (c. 1938) depicts a traditional lottery wheel, a device used for random selection. The watercolor painting highlights the intricate design of the wheel, with a delicate rendering of the spokes and frame. The wheel is positioned on a stand with elaborate, curvilinear forms, which creates a sense of elegant movement. The artwork provides a glimpse into the mechanical tools of chance, a theme explored by Curry throughout his career.
