Card Case c. 1940

"Card Case" is a drawing by Daniel Marshack created around 1940. Marshack was an American archaeologist and artist known for his work in the study of Paleolithic art, specifically his analysis of engraved bones and other artifacts. While the artwork itself depicts a simple card case, it hints at the meticulous detail and attention to observation that characterized his scientific work. The drawing captures the texture and shape of the case, emphasizing the lines and curves of the wood and the ivory button.
