Mask c. 1939

"Mask" is a watercolor on paper artwork created in 1939 by the American artist Harry King (1917-2001). The artwork depicts a detailed depiction of a wooden mask, possibly a carving. King's rendering captures the intricate details of the mask, including its carved features and a crown-like design at its top. The artwork's muted tones and careful brushstrokes evoke a sense of age and craftsmanship, highlighting the artist's skill in portraying three-dimensional form in a two-dimensional medium. This artwork is a prime example of King's artistic talent in exploring the nuances of both portraiture and still life.
