McHenry Bottle c. 1938

Ralph Atkinson's 1938 watercolor painting, "McHenry Bottle," depicts a meticulously rendered glass bottle with a distinctive, swirling neck. The bottle is depicted against a simple, pale background, drawing attention to the rich details of the glass and the intricate design of the label. The label features the words "McHenry" and "1812," adding a historical context to the artwork. The realism and meticulous detail characteristic of Atkinson's still life paintings are on full display in this piece.
