Pitcher c. 1937

This detailed pencil drawing titled "Pitcher" was created in 1937 by the American artist John Dana (1855-1995). The artwork depicts a glass pitcher, its form rendered with a precision that captures the transparency and texture of the object. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail, evident in the depiction of the ribbing and fluted base, highlights his interest in the everyday objects that make up our world. The drawing provides viewers with a glimpse into Dana’s artistic approach and his interest in still life subjects.
