About the Item
This framed watercolor is signed lower right by the American artist J.W. Dunn.
It depicts a thrilling equestrian polo match from the 1930s, featuring four riders in traditional polo uniforms. One team is dressed in red attire, while the other wears yellow. Each rider confidently holds a long stick, already engaged in a fast-paced game. The horses exude energy as they gallop across the scene, with two of them showing intense excitement by pressing their ears tightly against the back of their necks. It's important to note that the 1930s marked the golden era of polo in America. The vibrant and lively essence emanating from this watercolor showcases Dunn's talent to express movement and details. We can see his knowledge of horses' anatomy and his passion for capturing the fastness and the spirit of the sport.

- "Paddling Woman" Watercolor Minimalist Painting #1 by Christopher Paul CobbLocated in Pasadena, CA"Paddling Woman" is a minimalist watercolor that captures the essence of the human experience. Through the delicate strokes of a brush dipped in watercolor, the artist has conveyed the inner turmoil of the main subject, which may be remembering or dreaming of past or previous journeys. Her long, curly hair cascading down her shoulders symbolizes the wildness within us all. The simple black ink lines that create the birds and ships in the background add a touch of innocence and childlike wonder, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. The signature is in the right corner, and it is dated (September 1995). It sits in a simple black wood frame. Christopher Paul Cobb is an American artist born in the 20th Century. He is the grandson of baseball great player Ty Cobb.Category
