Wooden Cart c. 1936

Tulita Westfall’s watercolor on paper artwork, "Wooden Cart," depicts a simple cart made entirely from wood with a single wheel. The cart is viewed in profile, allowing the viewer to see its structural details. The cart’s wooden frame, woven with thin pieces of wood to make a box, is reminiscent of basket weaving. The single wheel is painted in a light brown, suggesting its wooden construction. The cart is rendered in a realistic style, showcasing the artist’s detailed observations of the object. The artwork is a valuable document of traditional craftsmanship and a reminder of the beauty and functionality of simple objects.
