Shirrell Graves Zebra Gouache Pair in Green Frames
This is a pair of Art Deco watercolor gouaches by California artist Shirrell Watson Graves, created in the 1930s. Each painting features zebras drinking at a jungle watering hole, rendered in a stylized Art Deco manner with strong linear patterns, elegant symmetry, and a sophisticated use of color. The zebras are set against a backdrop of oversized tropical foliage, with a palette of celadon green, sand, taupe, and pale blue. Both works are presented in period green lacquered frames with subtle striated decoration, enhancing the overall tropical-modern aesthetic. One piece includes a gallery label on the reverse confirming the subject and artist. Both paintings are signed in the lower right and are in good condition.
