Nutcracker c. 1940

Chris Makrenos' "Nutcracker" (c. 1940) is a detailed illustration of a wooden nutcracker shaped like a ram. The illustration is presented in two views: a side view and a top view. The nutcracker features a carved wooden handle with intricate designs. The ram's head is realistically rendered, with detailed fur and horns. This intricate piece showcases the artist's skill in capturing the details of both the object and the wood used to create it. It is a fine example of American folk art, and offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the time.
