Earthenware Bowl c. 1938

Richard Barnett's "Earthenware Bowl" from 1938 is a simple yet striking still life drawing. The single earthenware bowl is rendered in shades of brown and against a plain off-white background, emphasizing its form and texture. Barnett's meticulous attention to detail captures the irregularities of the clay, making it appear almost three-dimensional. This drawing serves as a testament to Barnett's keen eye for observation and appreciation for everyday objects.
