Soup Pot c. 1936

"Soup Pot" is a graphite drawing created in 1936 by American artist Francis Law Durand. The drawing depicts a detailed and realistic view of a large, metal pot with three feet and a loop handle. The artist uses shading and contour lines to create the illusion of volume, highlighting the pot's texture and form. The drawing's simple composition and emphasis on the pot's craftsmanship demonstrate Durand's interest in everyday objects and their artistic potential.
