Tea Kettle c. 1936

Karl Joubert's "Tea Kettle" (c. 1936) is a detailed study of a simple household object, rendered in shades of brown and grey. The artist meticulously captures the form and texture of the copper kettle, using precise lines and subtle shading to highlight the metal's shine. The kettle is depicted from a slightly angled perspective, allowing the viewer to appreciate its three-dimensional form. Three additional smaller drawings of the spout, lid and handle of the kettle are included. The artwork showcases Joubert's skill in still life drawing and his ability to imbue everyday objects with an air of beauty and significance.
