Jug c. 1936

John Dana's "Jug" (c. 1936) is a watercolor depiction of a stoneware jug with blue and white floral patterns. The jug is depicted against a neutral background and the image is framed by a simple border. The artwork is an example of Dana's interest in traditional American folk art and his ability to capture the intricate details and beauty of everyday objects. The inscription "Galesville NY" on the jug suggests that this is a regional folk art piece.
