Pitcher c. 1937

"Pitcher" is a detailed pencil and watercolor drawing by Francis Law Durand, created in 1937. The artwork depicts a ceramic pitcher with a hunting scene relief on its body. The scene features a group of riders on horseback, possibly a fox hunt, highlighted in delicate gray and white tones. The pitcher's form and intricate detailing are realistically rendered, showcasing Durand's meticulous observation and artistic skill. This drawing likely served as a design study for the ceramic pitcher, demonstrating the artist's involvement in the production of decorative arts.
