Jug c. 1936

Yolande Delasser’s “Jug” is a pencil and watercolor drawing depicting a design for a ceramic jug, created around 1936. The design is made of a light gray background with a blue bird perched on a blue stylized branch, and it appears to be the front side of the jug with an outline of the jug’s shape included in the upper left corner of the composition. This artwork offers insight into the creative process of a ceramicist, showing a bird motif that was likely intended for decorative application on a larger vessel. The delicate and detailed nature of the drawing highlights Delasser's artistic vision and skill.
