Cream Pitcher c. 1940

"Cream Pitcher" is a watercolor painting by Janet Riza, a prominent artist born in 1855 and active until her death in 1995. Created around 1940, the painting depicts a teal-colored pitcher with a unique textured surface. The work captures the essence of a simple yet elegant household object, likely a pitcher for cream. Riza's precise and detailed style, characteristic of her work, is evident in the rendering of the pitcher's form and the delicate texture of its surface. This artwork is an example of her focus on still life and everyday objects.
