Toy Bank c. 1937

Chris Makrenos's "Toy Bank" is a watercolor painting depicting a toy bank in the form of a small house, dating back to 1937. The artwork captures the detail of the toy bank in a realistic manner with an emphasis on the bright colors of the red roof, blue facade, and green trim. The "Novelty Bank" sign above the door and the small chimney add to the charm of the artwork, highlighting the nostalgic nature of the toy. The image of a figure in the corner suggests an illustration for a product or a design concept, adding to the historical context of the artwork.
