Demonstration of Techniques

This is a painting of a figure with wings playing a horn. The image shows a stylized silhouette of a winged figure blowing a long trumpet. The figure is depicted with rich tones of rust, green, and blue, resembling the patina of weathered metal, particularly on the upper torso and wings, with intricate detailing that mimics the appearance of sheet metal or copper alloy. The rest of the figure, the lower body and parts of the wings, is outlined but remains uncolored. The background is a plain off-white, emphasizing the figure in the foreground. The painting is in style of an abstract or contemporary expression, using mixed media or collage techniques.
Lucille Chabot, Gabriel Weather Vane (Technique), 1935/1942, watercolor and graphite on paperboard, Index of American Design, 1943.8.17977
