EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Pa. German Toy Hen sculpture created by renowned American artist Robert Harlow in approximately 1937. The intricately carved wooden figure, measuring around 12 inches tall, depicts a multicolored rooster with a proud and alert posture. The Pa. German Toy Hen is a traditional folk art piece, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch and Pennsylvania German colonies in America. Harlow's masterpiece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the 1930s and 1940s decorative arts movement in the United States. The bird's body is adorned with vibrant watercolor and graphite details, while its feathers are meticulously carved from wood. The rooster's beady eyes and wattle add a lifelike quality to the sculpture, making it a true work of art. This Pa. German Toy Hen is a significant addition to any art collection, as it represents not only the artistic talent of Robert Harlow but also the rich history and traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch and Pennsylvania German communities. The sculpture can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. The Pa. German Toy Hen is a multi-faceted piece, serving as both a decorative item and a historical artifact, showcasing the unique blend of European and American influences that shaped the artistic landscape of the United States during the 20th century.
