Figurehead c. 1937

"Figurehead" is a watercolor on paper artwork by American artist Frances Cohen, created circa 1937. The work depicts a bust of a woman, likely a figurehead from a ship, with intricate details and a worn, weathered appearance. Cohen's realistic style and focus on historical artifacts capture the timeless beauty and faded glory of the figurehead, reflecting a broader interest in Americana and maritime history in art during the 20th century.
