Pin 1940

"Pin" is a small, oval-shaped artwork created in 1940 by Dorothy Dwin. The piece features a seascape encased within a gold-colored frame. The setting sun illuminates the distant horizon, while the dark blue sea is layered with white lines suggestive of ocean waves. This small work, measuring 29.8 x 21.7 centimeters, showcases Dwin's interest in minimalist compositions and delicate detail. The simplicity of the subject matter and the artist's skillful use of color create a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. Dwin, who was born in 1855 and died in 1995, was known for her unique style and ability to capture the beauty of nature in her artwork.
