Which Georgia O'Keeffe painting is a 1931 still life featuring a cow's skull and the colors of the United States flag?

Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue is Georgia O'Keeffe's 1931 still life featuring a cow's skull and the colors of the United States flag.

O'Keeffe made the painting after collecting animal bones in New Mexico. The skull is shown frontally against a red, white, and blue background, creating an image that combines a Southwestern object with a distinctly American color scheme.

The work reflects O'Keeffe's recurring interest in bones, which she treated as durable natural forms rather than merely symbols of death. She found bones in the desert and carried them back to her studio, where she rearranged them for paintings and drawings.

The title is precise and distinguishes this work from her other bone paintings, including Ram's Head, White Hollyhock—Hills. The object is a cow's skull, and the title's colors are red, white, and blue.
