EDITORS COMMENTS
This figurehead, titled "Figurehead from 'Kenilworth'," was created by American artist Curry M. Bartlett in the 1930s or 1940s. The intricately detailed artwork, which measures approximately 23 x 17 inches, is a watercolor and graphite drawing on paper. Bartlett's masterful use of color and shading brings the female figure to life, as she stands proudly with a flowing gown and elaborate headdress adorned with flowers and feathers. The figurehead's expressive face, with its gentle smile and piercing gaze, adds to its allure. The figurehead is believed to have been inspired by the historic ship "Kenilworth," which was a prominent vessel in the United States during the early 20th century. Bartlett's depiction of the figurehead is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the decorative arts of the time. The figurehead is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design. This extensive collection, which includes over 18,000 drawings and watercolors, documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Bartlett's Figurehead from 'Kenilworth' is a standout piece in the collection, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. The figurehead is a reminder of a bygone era, when ships were adorned with intricately carved and painted figureheads to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich cultural and artistic history of the United States, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the nautical scene.
