Rock Horse 1935 - 1942

"Rock Horse" is a watercolor painting by Henry Tomaszewski, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a wooden rocking horse, painted in a realistic style with meticulous detail. The horse's worn, chipped paint, its saddle, and the rocking base are rendered with precision, giving the impression of a well-loved and familiar object. Tomaszewski’s choice of subject matter, a simple yet evocative childhood toy, suggests a nostalgic and sentimental tone. The artist’s masterful use of watercolor allows for subtle variations in color and texture, creating a lifelike and intimate depiction of the horse.
