Small maquette This is an original hand-painted magazine cover illustration titled Doings in General for Volume 10, October 1930, No. 10.
Key Visual Details
• Medium and Style. The piece appears to be an original gouache or watercolor illustration with visible pencil underdrawings and hand-lettered typography on illustration board.
• Central Subject. A stylized witch with a 1920s–1930s bob haircut, wearing a black pointed hat and cape with blue highlights, stands in the foreground holding a broom.
• Background Elements. A large green bat flies across a bright orange sky beneath hanging paper lanterns, while a crowd of partygoers dances in the lower right corner.
• Publication Context. Because the lettering is hand-painted and shows pencil guidelines, this was likely either a preliminary cover design (mock-up) for a company newsletter or local periodical, or a one-of-a-kind commemorative artwork created for a specific Halloween event in October 1930. |
