Globe c. 1937

"Globe" is a watercolor on paper painting created by American artist Edward L. Loper in 1937. The artwork depicts a detailed rendering of a globe, with its continents and oceans outlined in brown and white. It is mounted on a wooden stand, giving the viewer a sense of its three-dimensional form. The artwork exemplifies Loper's meticulous attention to detail and his interest in realistic representation. The drawing's muted colors, with a predominantly white background, suggest a precise approach to the subject, creating a sense of stillness and contemplation. The inclusion of a smaller, more detailed drawing of the globe's stand adds to the realism and technical skill of the work.
