Melon Shaped Jar 1935 - 1942

This drawing, titled "Melon Shaped Jar", is a depiction of a ceramic jar, presumably from the 1820s, as indicated by the title. The artist, who remains anonymous, captures the jar’s rounded form, with its wide body tapering slightly towards the top. The drawing's minimalist approach focuses on the jar's simple yet elegant silhouette, highlighting its shape and the subtle texture of its surface. The jar's brown hue, juxtaposed against a green ground, creates a sense of depth and realism in the composition. The drawing's simple composition and focus on the jar's form and texture make it a compelling example of still life art.
