Blue Glass Cruet and Stopper c. 1940

"Blue Glass Cruet and Stopper" is a watercolor painting by George File, completed around 1940. The work depicts a blue glass cruet, a small bottle used for holding oil or vinegar, with a stopper. The cruet features a distinctive fluted design and a handle that extends to the top of the neck. This still life captures the beauty and detail of everyday objects through the artist's meticulous rendering of light and shadow. File's focus on the blue glass and its reflective qualities highlights the interplay of light and form, typical of his still life paintings.
