Silver Mug 1936

Charles Garjian's 1936 drawing "Silver Mug" depicts a detailed, lifelike rendering of a pewter tankard. The artist's meticulous graphite strokes capture the smooth surface and subtle sheen of the mug's metal, creating a sense of realism. The simple composition and absence of background emphasize the object itself, allowing the viewer to focus on its craftsmanship and design. The inscription on the tankard, "V.B. 1907," hints at its history and potential significance. This artwork is an example of still life drawing, a genre that highlights the beauty of everyday objects. The piece's understated elegance appeals to those who appreciate realistic renderings and meticulous craftsmanship.
