Study for "Goat"
1934
10.0 x 15.0 cm
This watercolor is a study for Dove"s oil painting of the same title (MMA 49.70.37). Dove typically worked out his compositional arrangements and color schemes in this medium, on a small scale, then transferred the image to a larger canvas by means of a projector-like "magic lantern" or a copying tool called a pantograph. A comparison with the Goat painting demonstrates the artist"s adherence to his original conception of the work, with only minimal alterations to its shapes and tones.
