Tavern sign 1939

Harriette Gale's 1939 watercolor painting "Tavern sign" depicts a colorful crest featuring a central figure and surrounding floral motifs. The inscription, "FINSE PETIT PACEM ET LIBERTATEM," is written in a circular frame, suggesting a historical or heraldic context. The piece's vibrant colors and stylized imagery are characteristic of Gale's artistic style, a prominent painter of historical and symbolic subjects. It's likely that this work is intended to evoke a sense of history and tradition, possibly associated with a specific location or event.
