EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable creation from the talented artist Ella Josephine Sterling. Known for her expertise in decorative arts, Sterling crafted this exquisite Card Purse during the vibrant era of 1930s America. The Card Purse is a true testament to Sterling's artistic prowess and attention to detail. Made from metal and adorned with a stunning relief sculpture, it features an intricately designed bird of prey - possibly an eagle or vulture - perched majestically on its surface. The use of watercolor gouache and graphite on paper adds depth and color to this period item. Sterling's Card Purse not only serves as a functional accessory but also stands as a work of art in its own right. Its unique design seamlessly blends form and function, making it both visually appealing and practical for carrying cards or other small items. Now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this heritage piece represents the rich artistic heritage that defines American culture. It offers viewers a glimpse into the creative spirit that thrived during the 20th century, particularly throughout the forties. Ella Josephine Sterling's Card Purse is truly an exceptional example of American craftsmanship at its finest – showcasing beauty, functionality, and artistic ingenuity all within one extraordinary object.
