Bellows c. 1937

Charlotte Angus' "Bellows" (c. 1937) is a watercolor painting of a bellows with a decorative floral motif. The artist meticulously captures the texture and detail of the bellows' leather and metal components. The painting showcases Angus's talent for still life and her keen eye for the beauty of everyday objects. The depiction of the bellows, a practical tool used for creating fire, takes on an almost sculptural quality in the painting. The work exemplifies Angus's skill in realism and her interest in the traditional crafts of the past.
