Water Spout 1939

Raymond E. Noble's "Water Spout" from 1939 depicts a realistic rendering of an ancient water spout, likely carved from stone. The detailed depiction of the weathered surface and intricate carvings of a stylized face give the viewer a sense of the object's age and cultural significance. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and texture in the artwork, bringing the water spout to life on the paper. This watercolor painting is a testament to the artist's skill and interest in the history and craftsmanship of ancient objects.
