Manuscript and Miniature c. 1937

Albert Levone’s “Manuscript and Miniature” (c. 1937) is a watercolor painting depicting a winged angel, the text “Dieses roten Vögelin Daniel Wimmer” (This red bird Daniel Wimmer), and a heart with German text. The angel is rendered in a simplistic, folk art style with vibrant colors. The text suggests that the artwork is a dedication to Daniel Wimmer, highlighting the artist’s interest in folk traditions and the personal nature of art. The artwork is part of Levone's larger collection of watercolors and drawings, often featuring religious and allegorical themes. This piece showcases the artist's ability to capture the charm and simplicity of folk art through his masterful brushwork and delicate details.
