Water Pitcher c. 1940

"Water Pitcher" is a watercolor painting by Carl Buergerniss, created around 1940. The work depicts a detailed, life-size rendering of a ceramic pitcher. Its blue glaze and white floral design create a striking contrast. The pitcher's handle, shaped like a tree branch, adds to the work's rustic charm. Buergerniss's meticulous attention to detail makes the pitcher appear almost tangible, emphasizing the beauty of everyday objects. This realistic approach, characteristic of still life painting, allows viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such a piece.
