Churn c. 1939

"Churn" is a watercolor on paper by American artist Aaron Fastovsky, created around 1939. The work depicts a wooden churn, a tool traditionally used for making butter. The detailed drawing of the churn, with its rounded base and long handle, provides viewers with insight into a specific aspect of rural life in the past. The simple composition and realistic rendering of the object are characteristic of Fastovsky's style, which often focused on everyday objects and tools.
