Cookie Cutter 1935 - 1942

"Cookie Cutter" is a watercolor on paper painting by American artist Franklin Syres created between 1935 and 1942. The work depicts a simple yet striking image of a metal cookie cutter in the shape of a rider on a horse. Syres's precise and detailed rendering of the object emphasizes its form and texture, while the muted tones contribute to the piece's quiet, contemplative atmosphere. Syres, known for his still life and everyday object depictions, explores themes of domesticity, everyday life, and the beauty of the ordinary in this work.
