Comb c. 1939

"Comb" is a watercolor painting by John H. Tercuzzi, created around 1939. The artwork depicts a simple wooden comb, rendered with meticulous detail. Tercuzzi's focus on the object's form and texture reveals his interest in still life and the beauty of everyday objects. The comb's intricate grain and rounded shape are captured with subtle washes of color, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing light and shadow. Tercuzzi's work often explores themes of domesticity and the mundane, elevating ordinary objects to the status of artistic subjects. This piece, like many of his others, offers a glimpse into the everyday world of the early 20th century.
