A Child - Offered Us a Quail in a Slipper of Rose Coloured Satin 1957

"A Child - Offered Us a Quail in a Slipper of Rose Colored Satin" is a 1957 lithograph by American artist Benton Spruance, known for his evocative and haunting imagery. This artwork depicts a stylized figure, likely a woman, standing beside a nude child. The child, rendered with delicate lines, offers a quail to the larger figure, creating a sense of vulnerability and innocence. The background, obscured in shades of gray, suggests a mysterious and atmospheric setting. The work’s evocative and dreamlike imagery is characteristic of Spruance's artistic style, which often explored themes of childhood, innocence, and the human condition.
