This print titled "Tavern Figure, c. 1937" by Walter Hochstrasser takes us back to a vibrant era in American history. The image showcases a female figure, dressed elegantly in a bonnet and green clothing, standing proudly as the centerpiece of a bustling tavern. With her head held high and a warm smile on her face, she exudes an air of confidence and charm. Hochstrasser's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this close-up pencil drawing turned watercolor masterpiece. Every stroke brings life to the woman's dress, capturing the playfulness of color and light.
