Pine Ornament (Eagle) 1935 - 1942

This watercolor design, created by an anonymous artist between 1935 and 1942, showcases a patriotic eagle with outstretched wings perched atop a shield bearing the American flag. Two cannons flank the shield, draped with additional flags, forming a powerful and symbolic image of national pride. The detail of the eagle's feathers and the folds of the flags adds a sense of realism and texture to the work, creating a visual appeal that is both engaging and historically significant. This artwork, likely created in the period of the American Depression and the lead up to WWII, evokes a sense of strength and unity, making it a valuable window into American artistic expressions during a time of national transformation.
