"Wash-stand" is a watercolor painting by Edna C. Rex, created circa 1937. It depicts a simple, wooden washstand with a blue and white pitcher and bowl atop it. The composition of the artwork emphasizes the everyday object, highlighting its simple beauty through the artist's detailed depiction. The watercolor medium gives the artwork a delicate and slightly nostalgic feel, typical of Rex's work, who was known for her still life paintings and her attention to detail.
