Glass Bottle c. 1940

"Glass Bottle" is a watercolor painting created by Claude H. Marshall around 1940. The painting depicts a single, detailed glass bottle, rendered in a realistic manner. Its teardrop-like form, with a delicate, twisted neck, is emphasized by the pale blue hues that dominate the composition. The bottle's surface is embellished with an intricate pattern of wheat sheaves, a symbol of abundance and prosperity, making this work a still life that simultaneously alludes to the past.
