Whale Weather Vane c. 1938

This whimsical watercolor painting by Marian Page depicts a whale weather vane, a simple yet charming design. The whale is depicted in a stylized form, with a simple silhouette and a tail that is slightly more detailed. The weather vane sits on top of a rod with a sphere on top, representing the direction of the wind. Page's use of muted colors, along with the simple yet striking design, creates a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, showcasing the artist's interest in folk art.
