Pitcher 1937

Wilford H. Shurtliff's 1937 watercolor, “Pitcher,” depicts a brown ceramic pitcher decorated with embossed corn stalks. The artwork is likely a study for a larger design project. The artist's signature and date, along with a scale, appear in the bottom right corner of the composition, adding to the technical nature of the drawing. This highly detailed rendering of the pitcher provides viewers with a clear and realistic representation of the object, highlighting the beauty of functional pottery.
