Spur c. 1936

"Spur" is a watercolor painting by Gerald Transpota, executed around 1936. Depicting a single spur in intricate detail, the artwork offers a glimpse into the history of equestrian equipment. The realistic rendering, with its subtle variations in color and texture, showcases Transpota's skill as a still life artist. The composition, with the spur isolated against a light background, emphasizes its form and craftsmanship, inviting viewers to appreciate the object's beauty and practicality. This work, measuring 27.7 x 35.3 cm, is a testament to Transpota's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of everyday objects.
