This print titled "Figurehead, c. 1937" by Alfred Denghausen takes us back to the vibrant art scene of mid-20th century America. The image showcases a remarkable sculpture that once adorned the bow of a majestic ship, now preserved as part of our national heritage. Created in the 1930s or 1940s, this piece exemplifies Denghausen's mastery in decorative arts and design. The figurehead's intricate details are brought to life through watercolor and graphite on paper, capturing every nuance with precision and skill. The subject itself is an intriguing male figure with distinguished sideburns and facial hair, gesturing confidently towards an unseen horizon. This nautical theme resonates deeply with American history and maritime traditions. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.
