Mug 1935 - 1942

"Mug" is a watercolor painting by Van Silvay, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a simple blue glass mug with a rounded handle, rendered with meticulous detail against a plain cream background. The artist’s use of watercolor allows for subtle variations in color, creating a sense of light reflecting off the glass surface. This painting is a fine example of Van Silvay’s skill in still life, demonstrating his ability to capture the essence of ordinary objects with elegance and precision. The work is often considered a testament to the enduring beauty found in everyday items.
