Rocking Horse c. 1939

This watercolor painting titled "Rocking Horse" by American artist Willard Hazen was created in 1939. The painting depicts a traditional wooden rocking horse, a popular children's toy, with a white and brown spotted body and a green painted base. The horse is in a dynamic pose, with its front legs raised, giving the impression of movement. The simple composition and detailed rendering of the rocking horse make this artwork a charming and nostalgic piece that evokes a sense of childhood innocence and playfulness.
