Horizontal Horse's or Mule's Skull with Feather

Story

A bleached skull rests on its side, an empty eye socket facing out, a dark striped feather set beside it against plain white space. Georgia O'Keeffe painted this in oil in 1936. The piece came to the museum as a gift from a foundation.

Where it works

Warm-toned artwork suited to libraries and living rooms, and to hotel guest rooms, in a horizontal format.
