This exquisite watercolor and graphite on paper piece showcases a woman holding an oar, her determined expression reflecting the strength and resilience of those who navigate the waters. The figurehead is a functional and decorative element of ships, traditionally carved to protect the vessel and bring good fortune. This evocative image, produced in the 1930s and 1940s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. The use of vibrant white and color in the piece adds depth and dimension, while the intricate details of the figurehead's clothing and accessories transport us to a bygone era. Lucille Lacoursiere's masterful technique and attention to detail are on full display in this stunning work.
