Piggin c. 1938

"Piggin" is a detailed pencil drawing of a wooden bucket with a handle, created by Annie B. Johnston in 1938. The drawing exhibits a realistic style, showcasing the texture of the wood and the form of the bucket with great accuracy. Johnston was known for her still life drawings, and this work is a testament to her meticulous attention to detail. The subject matter, a humble bucket, suggests an interest in everyday objects and the beauty found in the ordinary. The artist's signature, subtly placed in the lower right corner, adds a personal touch to the work.
