Glass Bowl c. 1936

Ella Josephine Sterling's "Glass Bowl" (c. 1936) is a watercolor painting depicting a crystal bowl with a delicate, patterned design. The bowl is depicted in a realistic manner, with the artist capturing the intricate detail of the glasswork, including the diamond and ribbed patterns. The painting showcases Sterling's keen observation of the form and texture of everyday objects and her ability to translate them onto the canvas with precision. The light blue and gray tones used in the watercolor evoke a sense of transparency and the delicate nature of glass.
