Harvester Jug c. 1937

Yolande Delasser’s watercolor “Harvester Jug” from c. 1937 depicts a ceramic jug with a simple yet elegant design. The jug features a rounded body and a single, elegant handle. The artist captured the subtle variations in texture of the ceramic, highlighting the aged patina with subtle brown washes. A delicate blue floral motif adds a touch of color against the white background. The artist, a French painter known for her still life studies, rendered the jug in a meticulous manner, capturing its form and details with clarity. Her precise attention to detail creates a sense of realism in this small, intimate depiction of a simple domestic object.
