Hand Made & Painted Wooden Cross - Headstone c. 1937

Majel G. Claflin’s watercolor painting *Hand Made & Painted Wooden Cross - Headstone* (c. 1937) depicts a wooden cross headstone with an inscription in Spanish commemorating the life of Arturo Andres Flores. The inscription reads "En/en/memoria/de/Arturo Andres Flores/murio/en 1941/nacio/en/1838." The painting is a realistic depiction of the headstone, with the artist capturing the texture and details of the wood. The simple and direct style of the painting reflects the traditional nature of the headstone and the somber mood of the subject.
