Mozart Tie-back c. 1938

"Mozart Tie-back" is a 1938 work by American artist Helen Bronson. The work is a detailed pencil drawing of a wooden relief carving, most likely a tie-back for drapery. The carving features a profile portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, set within a circular frame. Bronson's work is a notable example of her talent for capturing the textures and details of woodcarving in a two-dimensional medium.
