Carousel Oil Painting on Canvas by J. Mamez

About the Item

A painting of a woman riding on a carousel horse while holding out her white handkerchief to flow in the wind. This piece is reminiscent of a weekend at the fair or carnival, you can see a glimpse of the event in the beyond the carousel. Waving a white handkerchief in the wind has a lot of symbolism dating as far back as the 18th century, but I like to imagine this is a representation of carefree adolescent freedom. The painting uses realistic and soft colors, adding to the dream-like narrative. Artist is unknown, painting is unframed.

  • Herbert Laurence Davidson “Young Boy on Carousel”, Oil Painting, 1960s
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    A poignant 1960s oil painting on canvas depicting a young boy on a stationary carousel by important mid-century American artist Herbert Laurence Davidson (b. 1930–2018). A characteristically sensitive portrait by the artist, with his subject's red-eyed expression and dejected body language suggesting that there would be no more rides that day. With a well-earned reputation as a skilled American Realist, the short, finely hashed brushstroke technique that Davidson employs to achieve a detailed, luminous effect is all the more impressive upon closer examination. Signed "Herbert Davidson...
