Silver Beaker c. 1936

Isidore Steinberg’s “Silver Beaker,” a graphite drawing on paper, depicts a simple yet elegant silver beaker. Created in 1936, the artwork showcases Steinberg’s talent for capturing the form and texture of objects through precise lines and shading. The beaker’s smooth, reflective surface and the detailed depiction of its base create a sense of realism, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of everyday objects. This drawing highlights the enduring appeal of Steinberg’s artwork, which often focused on still life subjects, and his ability to elevate the ordinary to the level of fine art.
