Visiting Card Tray c. 1939

"Visiting Card Tray" is a pencil drawing by American artist Helen Hobart, created around 1939. The artwork depicts a simple yet striking design, consisting of two hands cupped together to form a tray. This minimalist composition, rendered in delicate detail, highlights the natural beauty of the human form, capturing the essence of functionality and grace in a seemingly ordinary object. The piece speaks to Hobart's keen eye for detail and her ability to elevate everyday objects into subjects worthy of artistic expression.
