Cane Head or Handle 1935 - 1942

Robert Clark’s “Cane Head or Handle” is a detailed watercolor study of a carved walking stick handle. Executed between 1935 and 1942, the artwork depicts the head of a man in profile, wearing a hat. The handle is carved in a realistic style and is rendered with great precision. The artwork's subtle tones and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of realism. Clark’s study of this everyday object demonstrates his keen observation of detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subject.
