Crock c. 1937

"Crock" is a drawing by American artist Janet Riza, created circa 1937. The work features a series of sketches in blue ink on cream paper, depicting a ceramic crock, an arched structure, and two flying birds. The sketch at the bottom right of the composition includes the artist's signature and a circular stamp that reads "Jacob Caire, Poughkeepsie, N.Y." The drawings are rendered with a delicate touch, highlighting the outlines of the objects with precise lines. Riza's work reflects her interest in both the formal elements of design and the details of everyday objects.
