Silver Ink Stand c. 1936

"Silver Ink Stand" is a watercolor painting by John Dixon, created around 1936. The still life depicts a silver inkstand comprised of three shakers, a large central one with a handle, and two smaller ones, all resting on a silver tray with ornate detailing. Dixon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the silver's polished gleam, reflecting subtle light and shadow. The use of watercolor provides a delicate, translucent quality to the objects, adding a sense of refinement to the artwork.
