Spear did a series called "Sea Weeds" with haunting images of art nouveau mermaids and other sea dwellers. This original pastel is a stunning and highly detailed example from this series.
The colors are vivid and her ghost-like presence is breathtaking. This original gouache is referenced in the Warren Historical Society book on Spear on page 33 lot # 147. it was completed in February of 1927 and sold in 1930 at a New York City studio show.

Artwork retains original period frame which shows some wear and there is some very minor "bubbling" where paper surface has lifted from board. This wear is minor and easily repaired.
