Stage Backdrop 1935 - 1942

"Stage Backdrop" was created by Perkins Harnly between 1935 and 1942. The gouache on paper design is a detailed depiction of a stage set. The artist's detailed attention to the design suggests it was intended for use in a theatrical production. Harnly's work, known for its decorative and theatrical styles, captures the opulence of a palatial setting. The backdrop showcases columns, arches, and a balcony overlooking a garden scene, adding depth and grandeur to the stage.
