"Swinging Fan" (c. 1937) by Al Curry, is a watercolor depiction of a ceiling fan made of woven palm leaves. The artwork captures the detail of the fan's wooden frame and the intricate weaving of the palm leaves, creating a sense of craftsmanship and functionality. The fan hangs from a ceiling, and the rope that controls its movement extends down the left side of the artwork. The simple composition and realistic details make this artwork a charming and relatable representation of a common household object.
