Jug c. 1938

"Jug" is a 1938 ink drawing by Yolande Delasser, a French artist known for her delicate and detailed artwork. The drawing depicts a bird in profile, perched on a branch, with a simple line drawing of a jug placed above it. The piece is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and the use of light lines that create a sense of movement and flow. Delasser’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the subtle shading and intricate patterns used to create the bird’s plumage. This simple, yet powerful piece is a testament to the artist's masterful use of line and her ability to capture the essence of her subject in a few, carefully placed strokes.
