Match Case for Wall c. 1938

"Match Case for Wall" is a watercolor design by Howell Rosenbaum, created in 1938. The artwork depicts a wooden match case with a decorative, golden eagle perched on top. The eagle is a powerful symbol of the United States and the match case itself serves as a practical object, reflecting Rosenbaum’s interest in design and craftsmanship. The use of watercolor allows for a detailed rendering of the wood grain and the shimmering gold finish of the eagle, creating a sense of realism. This design showcases the artistry and attention to detail in everyday objects.
