Covered Sugar Bowl c. 1940

Beverly Chichester's watercolor painting "Covered Sugar Bowl" from c. 1940 depicts a detailed, realistic depiction of a cobalt-blue sugar bowl with a lid. The artwork, executed with meticulous detail, showcases Chichester's skill in rendering the smooth, reflective surface of the glass and its deep, rich color. This study of a domestic object, common in still life paintings, showcases the artist's ability to elevate the ordinary into a subject of beauty and interest. The artwork, measuring 35.1 x 24.4 cm, offers a glimpse into the artist's perspective on everyday objects and their potential for artistic expression.
