"Nude with Basket, " Striking Art Deco Gouache Painting by Hentschel

About the Item

Painted by William Hentschel, one of Rookwood Pottery's most celebrated artisans in the Art Deco era, this very rare gouache depicts a half-nude female figure carrying a basket filled with pears and other fruit. Although portraying a native woman from Asia or Africa, a theme of great interest to many American artists in the 1930s and 1940s, this painting gives its subject startlingly blue eyes and a lovely skin tone that sets it apart from the crowd. (Dimensions include matte and frame.).
