Weather Vane c. 1940

"Weather Vane" is a watercolor painting by Selma Sandler, created around 1940. The artwork depicts a wooden horse in profile, rendered with precise detail, suggesting the weathered, rustic surface of the original object. The artist's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the horse's anatomy and the texture of its wood, elevates this everyday object into an artistic subject. The painting's minimalist composition and emphasis on form and texture place it within the realm of still life, offering a glimpse into the artist's keen observation of the world around her.
