Weather Vane 1935 - 1942

"Weather Vane" is an anonymous watercolor painting depicting a stylized rooster, a common motif in weather vanes, created between 1935 and 1942. The rooster's form is simplified, with flat planes of color and a strong sense of outline, suggesting a folk art aesthetic. The use of red for the comb and legs adds a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic composition. The artist's choice of subject matter and style evokes a sense of rustic charm and connection to nature. The work, despite its anonymous origins, offers a glimpse into the vernacular art of the early 20th century.
