Coffee Mill 1939

"Coffee Mill" is a watercolor painting by American artist Clarence Secor, created in 1939. The artwork depicts a detailed, close-up view of a vintage coffee grinder with a wooden handle, metal body, and a drawer for collecting the ground coffee. Secor's precise brushstrokes and use of light and shadow create a realistic and almost tactile depiction of the object, highlighting the worn, rustic details of the antique coffee mill. His focus on everyday objects exemplifies the American realist movement, making this a captivating portrayal of a familiar household item.
