Head of Carved Figure with Tin Crown 1935 - 1942

Majel G. Claflin's 1935-1942 watercolor, "Head of Carved Figure with Tin Crown," features a detailed, almost photographic rendering of a wooden sculpture. The figure's profile is emphasized, with a striking crown crafted from tin, its white and silver bands creating a strong visual contrast against the figure's brown and black tones. The piece exemplifies Claflin's talent for capturing the unique textures and materials of her subjects. "Head of Carved Figure with Tin Crown" showcases the artist's fascination with both the form and materials of sculpture, and represents her artistic exploration of representational realism within the context of watercolor.
