Apron
Title
Apron
Description
Little is known about J. Martin, the artist who boldly signed his name on this apron, just under the compasses and quadrant arc at its center. He painted the emblems and border on the apron—designed to suggest a knotted fringe—with style and confidence. Based on the colors and symbols painted on it, Martin likely created this apron for a Freemason who participated in Royal Arch degrees.
