Stoneware Jug c. 1940

This drawing by Nicholas Amantea, created around 1940, depicts a stoneware jug. The detailed rendering of the jug’s form and the subtle variations in its brown glaze give the impression of a three-dimensional object. The artist's signature, "Amantea," is visible at the bottom right of the sheet. This drawing is a fine example of the artist’s interest in everyday objects, exploring the beauty of simple forms.
