Young Calf 1938

Ethel Magafan's 1938 charcoal drawing, "Young Calf," depicts two children kneeling around a calf. The artist captures the delicate moment with a soft, expressive style that highlights the children's gentle interaction with the animal. Magafan's use of shading and detail creates a sense of depth and realism, evoking a tender scene from rural life. The work suggests themes of youth, innocence, and the bond between humans and animals. "Young Calf" is a charming example of Magafan's artistic focus on the natural world and the human connection to it.
