Weather Vane c. 1939

"Weather Vane" is a 1939 painting by American artist Selma Sandler (1855-1995). The painting depicts a stylized horse, likely intended as a weathervane, in profile against a simple off-white background. The horse is rendered in shades of brown and gold, suggesting the patina of aged metal. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner of the canvas, a simple testament to the work's intended function as a design sketch.
