Toy Bank: Frog

William O. Fletcher

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of sculptural frog figures. The painting features two stylized representations of frogs lying on an abstract base. The frogs appear to be made of wood or stone, with a lifelike yet surreal appearance. The figures are on a neutral background that accentuates their forms and colors. This style of painting is reminiscent of Max Ernst, known for surreal and dreamlike depictions of the natural world.
