St. John Nepomucene-Painted on Buffalo Hide Prior to 1800 1935 - 1942

This watercolor painting by E. Boyd, titled "St. John Nepomucene-Painted on Buffalo Hide Prior to 1800," depicts a religious figure. The painting appears to be a reproduction or interpretation of an original artwork, likely a religious icon, that was painted on buffalo hide. The subject, St. John Nepomucene, is shown holding a palm frond and wearing a crown and a long robe, suggesting a depiction of a Catholic saint. Boyd's work, created between 1935-1942, captures the spirit of this original artwork with bold colors and simple, stylized forms. The painting is framed in a yellow and orange border with a scalloped design.
