Peigne
c. 1936
Erwin Schwabe’s 1936 drawing captures the elegant geometry of a decorative hair comb, likely created as a design study or museum record. The artist uses precise shading to give the long, tapering teeth a three-dimensional volume, contrasting with the delicate floral motifs and oval patterns on the ornate crest. Notice the tiny box in the bottom left? That’s a technical profile view showing the comb's side, proving this is a meticulous documentation of an object's form. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1930s design illustration, where beauty met technical precision.
