Water Jug c. 1936

Yolande Delasser's "Water Jug," a watercolor on paper dated c. 1936, depicts a traditional stoneware jug with a distinctive blue and white glaze. The artwork is a detailed study of the jug's form, with its wide belly and narrow neck, as well as the intricate pattern of floral designs and the inscription "Blue" on its surface. Delasser's meticulous rendering captures the tactile quality of the ceramic, highlighting the subtle variations in texture and color. The artwork's simplicity and focus on the subject matter make it a prime example of still life.
