Turtle c. 1939

"Turtle" is a watercolor drawing by American artist Van Silvay, created around 1939. The artwork depicts a single, teal-colored turtle in a realistic style, rendered with meticulous detail. The turtle is presented in a minimalist composition, situated against a light beige background. The subtle shading and texture details, particularly noticeable on the turtle's shell, lend a sense of depth and realism to the artwork. Silvay's work showcases his talent for capturing the essence of his subject in a delicate and expressive manner.
